Paul didn't say that faith, hope and love would continue after tongues and prophecy have ceased. It was a well-known fact of the Gospel that faith and hope shall be fulfilled when Jesus comes. When we see face to face, we shall no longer need to live by faith - for faith is the substance of things not seen; we shall no longer need to hope - for hope that is seen is no longer hope. Faith and hope won't be needed, once we can see face to face. But now faith, hope and charity remain.
Paul said that tongues and prophecy shall also cease at the same time when we see face to face. When faith and hope are fulfilled, tongues and prophecy shall also cease.
