No Face Like Thine

Representative Text

1 No face like Thine, my Savior,
Fair as the lily white,
Amid the throng that drifts along,
Shedding a heav’nly light.

Chorus:
I shall see His glorious face,
I shall see His glorious face,
And gaze upon it evermore,
My Savior’s glorious face.

2 No face like Thine, my Savior,
More marred than any seen,
By crown of thorn and Calv’ry’s morn,
The heav’ns and earth between. [Chorus]

3 No face like Thine, my Savior,
Brighter than noonday sun;
For saints ‘tis light—for sinners night,
With work of judgment done. [Chorus]

4 No face like Thine, my Savior,
O majesty divine!
No sun, no moon, but Christ alone,
Of heav’n the Light sublime. [Chorus]
