Lyrics

How bright that blessed hope!
Jesus will come!
Let us our heads lift up,
Jesus will come!
Morning so bright and clear,
Mansions of God appear,
Sin shall not enter there,
Jesus will come!

Him every eye shall see,
When He appears;
Bright will the glory be,
When He appears;
Soon shall the trumpet speak,
Each sleeping saint awake,
And the glad morning break,
When He appears.

Raised unto glory then
At His return;
Joyous our song shall be
At His return;
Gathered around to Him,
All learn the heav’nly hymn;
Jesus our joyful theme,
At His return.

Full of this blessèd hope,
Till He shall come;
Let us the cross take up,
Till He shall come;
Happy reproach to bear,
Shame, for His sake, to share,
Since we the crown shall wear.
When He shall come.
