16232. When He Cometh In His Glory

1 We know not how soon His re­turn will be,
We know not the time nor when;
But we know when He com­eth
His face we shall see,
And we shall be like Him then.

Refrain:
Yes, we shall be like Him then,
Yes, we shall be like Him then;
We know not the hour
When our Lord will come,
But we shall be like Him then.

2 We know not the splen­dor of yon­der home,
We know not the man­sions fair;
But we know when He com­eth
No more shall we roam,
And we shall be like Him there. [Refrain]

3 We know not the robes that we then shall wear,
We know not the songs we’ll sing;
But we know when He com­eth
His glo­ry we’ll share,
And we shall be like our king. [Refrain]

4 We know not the sta­tion we then shall bear,
We know not the great re­ward;
But we know when He com­eth
A crown we shall wear,
And we shall be like our Lord. [Refrain]
