43. When He Shall Appear

1 No one can tell when the Saviour shall come,
Whether in day or in night’s solemn gloom;
But this we know, and it bringeth sweet cheer,
“We shall be like Him,” “when He shall appear.”

Refrain:
When He shall appear, when He shall appear,
We shall be like Him when He shall appear!

2 O, blessed hope, that hath lifted the weak,
And thrilled with rapture the thirsty who seek
Joy at the Fountain that flows ever clear;
“We shall be like Him,” “when He shall appear.” [Refrain]

3 Even to me this sweet promise is giv’n,
That I may shine in the glory of heav’n:
Life’s heavy burdens I’ll cheerfully bear;
“We shall be like Him,” “when He shall appear.” [Refrain]

4 O, let us strive, then, to work with a will;
Soon He will come and His promise fulfill,
Ever e ready His summons to hear;
“We shall be like Him,” “when He shall appear.” [Refrain]
