Author: Ada Ruth Habershon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6251 Refrain First Line: Oh, what a change! Oh, what a change! Lyrics: 1.

Oh, what a change! When I shall see His wonderful face! Oh, what a change! Oh, what a change! When I shall see His face! 2. Loneliness changed to reunion complete, Absence exchanged for a place at His feet, Sleeping ones raised in a moment of time, Living ones changed to His image sublime. [Refrain] 3. Sunrise will chase all the darkness away, Night will be changed to the brightness of day, Tempests will change to ineffable calm, Weeping will change to a jubilant psalm. [Refrain] 4.
