It may be at morn, when the day is awaking,
When sunlight
through darkness and shadow is breaking
That Jesus will come
in the fullness of glory
To receive from the world ¡§His own.¡¨
Refrain
O Lord Jesus, how long, how long
Ere we
shout the glad song,
Christ returneth! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Amen.
It may be at midday, it may be at twilight,
It may be,
perchance, that the blackness of midnight
Will burst into
light in the blaze of His glory,
When Jesus receives ¡§His
own.¡¨
Refrain
While hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending,
With
glorified saints and the angels attending,
With grace on His
brow, like a halo of glory,
Will Jesus receive ¡§His own.¡¨
Refrain
Oh, joy! oh, delight! should we go without dying,
No
sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying.
Caught up
through the clouds with our Lord into glory,
When Jesus
receives ¡§His own.¡¨
Refrain
