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