Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

This is another Communion song. While taking communion imagine looking into Christ’s face while He is hanging on the cross. You won’t see accusations in His eyes, but eternal grace and forgiveness. Although we only take communion once a week, we should always remember His sacrifice and the fact that He is still with us.

Lyrics by Horatius Bonar, arranged by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

“Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, and all my weariness upon Thee lean.

Here would I feed upon the bread of God; Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; The feast, though not love, is passed and gone; The bread and wine remove, but Thou are here, nearer than ever still my shield and sun.

Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.”
