Representative Text

1 Lo! the time hastens on, soon the morning will dawn,
When the King shall in glory descend:
We expect soon to join the bright, holy throng,
In the kingdom that never shall end.

Chorus:
O Saviour! dear Saviour! O Saviour, come!
Here we mourn and we sigh,
And we daily cry,
"Come and gather the faithful home."

2 All the prophets of old saw a beautiful world,
And they looked for the same with delight;
And apostles have told of a city of gold,
Where the Lamb is its glorious light. [Chorus]

3 O we long to be there, where no sorrow or care
Can disturb that sweet, heavenly rest;
And we hope soon to share in those beauties so rare
In reserve for the good and the blest. [Chorus]
