My Savior Face to Face

lyricist: W. C. Agar, 1898
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

I am glad I found the Sav­ior

For He makes my heart re­joice

And I feel with­in my soul His sav­ing grace;

But I want to talk with Je­sus

Hear His lov­ing

gen­tle voice;

I want to see my Sav­ior face to face.

O I want to see my Sav­ior face to face

Who hath loved me and re­deemed me by His grace;

In His king­dom

crowned with glo­ry

On His ev­er­last­ing throne

I want to see my Sav­ior face to face.

Yes

I know He ev­er loves me

Daily guides my err­ing feet

And I’m rest­ing in His ten­der

fond em­brace;

But I want to know Him bet­ter

And my dear Re­deem­er meet

I want to see my Sav­ior face to face.

When life’s sun is slow­ly set­ting

Twilight sha­dows veil the sky

And I’m near the end­ing of life’s wea­ry race;

In my heart will be this long­ing

None but Christ can sa­tis­fy

I want to see my Sav­ior face to face.

When I tread the crys­tal pave­ment

Of the new Je­ru­sa­lem

Where my Sav­ior has pre­pared for me a place

Where the an­gel choirs are sing­ing

Praise and glo­ry to the Lamb

O then I’ll see my Sav­ior face to face.
