Face to Face
Carrie Breck |
"Face to Face" is a hymn born from the collaboration of a
poem written by Carrie Ellis Breck and music composed by Grant
Tullar.
Carrie Ellis Breck was born January 22, 1855 in Vermont and
raised in a Christian home. She later moved to Vineland, New
Jersy, and then to Portland, Oregon. She wrote verse and prose
for religious and household publications, In 1884 she married
Frank A. Breck. She has written between fourteen and fifteen
hundred hymns.
Grant Colfax Tullar (1869-1950) was an American minister,
composer, and hymn writer. Tullar was born on August 5, 1869 in
Bolton, Connecticut. His parents named him after President
Ulysses S. Grant and Vice President Schuyler Colfax. Tullar's
mother died when he was two, and his father was disabled from
the Civil War, so he had a rough childhood. Tullar became a
Methodist in 1888 at a Methodist camp meeting. From there, he
attended Hackettstown Academy in New Jersey, going on to be a
Methodist minister in Dover, Delaware. In 1893, he helped found
the Tullar-Meredith Publishing Company in New York City, where
he composed and produced church and Sunday school music in hymns
and hymnals. |
Lyrics by
Carrie Breck
|
Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
Face to face--what will it be
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me?
Chorus:
Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!
Only faintly now I see Him
With the darkened veil between,
But a blessed day is coming
When His glory shall be seen.
Chorus |
What rejoicing in His presence,
When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened
And the dark things shall be plain.
Chorus
Face to face--oh, blissful moment!
Face to face--to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so.
Chorus |
