An intensely beautiful Christmas hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

YouTube video: To See His Face, hymn

Text:
To see his face, this newborn infant Son,
is to look upon pure brilliance like the sun.
To see his form, with glory in a stall,
hints for me to kneel and touch his swaddling shawl.

To see his face, to gaze upon his eyes,
is to know his strength which someday will supply
the greatest gift mankind will ever know . . .
He will give his life, his perfect love to show.

To hear his cries, I weep with gratitude
celebrating love, his sacrifice and wounds.
I bow my head in reverence for his Name.
He will take my sins, releasing me from shame.

To see his face, the very Son of God,
is to look upon perfection never flawed.
I speak his Name, this newborn heavn’ly Child,
and I know, from Him, to God I’m reconciled.

I lift my voice in songs of heartfelt praise.
On this Christmas morn to Him my eyes will stay.
I feel his love; I sense his warm embrace
as I look upon his ever-faithful face.
