Can you help with the name of this hymn?

[dontdarepokethebear]

I think it's an Irish Catholic hymn and every verse (or maybe it's just the chorus) has a line that says something like ....and I saw it in his face.

I'm sorry, super vague but it might ring a bell with someone!

The words "To the lost Christ shows his face" are in this

1 Christ's is the world in which we move,
Christ's are the folk we're summoned to love,
Christ's is the voice which calls us to care,
and Christ is the one who meets us here.
To the lost Christ shows his face;
to the unloved he gives his embrace;
to those who cry in pain or disgrace;
Christ makes, with his friends, a touching place.

2 Feel for the people we most avoid -
strange or bereaved or never employed;
feel for the women and feel for the men
who fear that their living is all in vain.
Chorus

3 Feel for the parents who've lost their child,
feel for the women whom men have defiled,
feel for the baby for whom there's no breast,
and feel for the weary who find no rest.
Chorus

4 Feel for the lives by life confused,
riddled with doubt, in loving abused;
feel for the lonely heart, conscious of sin,
which longs to be pure but fears to begin.
Chorus

LM and Optional refrain

or this one? ‘The perfect face’, anonymous

I saw the grass, I saw the trees,
And the boats along the shore.
I saw the shapes of many things
I had only guessed before.
And I saw the faces of men more clearly
Than if I had never been blind:
The lines of envy around their lips
And the greed and the hate in their eyes:

Chorus
And I turned away,
Yes, I turned away,
For I had seen the perfect face
Of a real and proper man:
The man who brought me from the dark
Into light-where life began.

I made my way into the town,
To the busy crowded streets:
The shops and stores and alleyways,
Through the squalor and the heat.
And I saw the faces of men more clearly
Than if I had never been blind:
The lines of envy around their lips
And the greed and the hate in their eyes:

I made my way into the hills,
To a quiet and lonely place.
I found a clear unruffled pool
And I gazed upon my face.
And I saw this face of mine more clearly
Than if I had never been blind:
The lines of envy around my lips
And the greed and the hate in my eyes:

I saw the grass, I saw the trees,
And the boats along the shore.
I saw the shapes of many things
I had only guessed before.
And I saw the faces of men more clearly
Than if I had never been blind:
The lines of sorrow around their lips
And the child looking out from their eyes:

Thank you so much for your replies.

Newyeardelurker that's the one! Well done for working it out from my very hazy recollection. You have a gift!

When I looked this song up on Spotify it didn't come up when searching the title Perfect Face, so I typed in 'I saw the grass'. Just to let you know, you get a totally different song which rhymes the first line with 'when I spanked her ass'. 😳 🤣
