Representative Text

1 O morn of bliss eternal,
What will our rapture be,
When clothed in power and glory,
Our blessed Lord we see.

Refrain:
When He is clouds descending
Shall come to claim His own
And gather all, both great and small,
Around His Father’s throne.

2 O morn of bliss eternal,
When all His saints shall rise,
With shouts of holy transport,
To meet Him in the skies. [Refrain]

3 We cannot tell the moment
When we shall hear His voice;
But, oh, if we are ready,
How will our hearts rejoice! [Refrain]
