55. When I Look Into His Face

1 When I look into the face of Jesus,
I’ll forget the sorrows I have known;
Ev’ry grief, like mountain mist, shall vanish,
When, redeemed, I stand before His throne.

Refrain:
When I look into the face
Of the Christ, who by His grace
Brings His ransomed to that bright and happy place,
With the white-robed, heav’nly throng,
I shall sing a “new, new song,”
When I look into His blessed face.

2 When I look into the face of Jesus,
And behold the beauty of my King,
Then, transformed, into His blessed likeness,
To His glory, I will ever sing. [Refrain]

3 When I look into the face of Jesus,
Ev’ry longing will be satisfied;
For His love surpasses human knowledge,
And eternal joys with Him abide. [Refrain]
