All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air. Alleluia! Alleluia! See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne. Savior, take the pow'r and glory; Claim the kingdom for Thine own. O come quickly! O come quickly! Everlasting God, come down! Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

Crown Him as your captain In temptation's hour; Let His will enfold you In its light and pow'r. 4 Watch, for this Lord Jesus Shall return again In His Father's glory, O'er the earth to reign; For the day is coming When each knee shall bow, And our hearts confess Him King of Glory now.

With bridal care And faith's bold prayer, To meet the bridegroom, come, prepare!" 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And in her heart new joy is springing. She wakes, she rises from her gloom. For her Lord comes down all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious. Her star's arising light has come! "Now come, O blessed one, Lord Jesus, God's own Son. Hail! Hosanna! We answer all In joy your call, We follow to the wedding hall." 3 Now let all the heav'ns adore you, Let saints and angels sing before you With harp and cymbals' clearest tone. Of one pearl each shining portal, Where, joining with the choir immortal, We gather round your radiant throne. No eye has seen that light, No ear the echoed might Of your glory; Yet there shall we In your vict'ry Sing shouts of praise eternally! Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Come, my Savior, Thou hast promised, quickly come. Used With Tune: [O'er the distant mountains breaking]
