Colfax Tullar was a minister in the Methodist Episcopal
Church and a public evangelist. He wrote the tune after
supper one evening, beginning with the words, "All
for me the Savior suffered, All for me He bled and died..."
In his mail the next morning he received several poems
from Mrs. Breck. One of them, "Face to Face,"
was in the exact meter of the tune he had just written
the night before. So he set her words to his music, and
they have been together ever since.
