Lord Jesus, So Come!

Representative Text

1 O someday, with trump of God and a shout,
And sound of the archangel's voice,
From Heaven the Lord Himself shall descend:
So let us be glad and rejoice.

Chorus:
Then oh, what delight when faith shall be sight
And Jesus comes back for His own;
Caught up in the air, to be with Him there,
O quickly, Lord Jesus, so come!

2 On that day the dead in Christ shall rise first,
And those of His own who remain
Together with Him shall meet in the clouds
Without any dying or pain. [Chorus]

3 Then sorrow we not as those without hope,
But comfort ourselves with this word,
That all those in Him, when He shall return,
Forever shall be with the Lord. [Chorus]
