CHRIST RETURNETH
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. O joy! O
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.
