When the Savior Comes Again

1 Oh, the night is long and drea­ry,
But the break­ing dawn is near,
And the Lord in dazz­ling splen­dor
Now shall speed­ily ap­pear;
And our loved ones calm­ly sleep­ing,
That are done with grief and pain,
We shall meet them in the glo­ry
When the Sav­ior comes again.

Refrain:
In that morn­ing, in that morn­ing,
In the bright­ness of His glo­ry,
He to earth will come again;
With Him come the saints and an­gels,
For He’s com­ing back to earth
Again to reign.

2 Oh, the joy­ful re­sur­rect­ion!
’Tis a bless­èd hope in­deed
For the ones who sleep in Jesus,
And from sin and sor­row freed;
We shall be caught up to­gether,
With them we shall join the strain
Of the praise for our sal­va­tion
When the Sav­ior comes again. [Refrain]

3 Oh, the signs in­crease around us,
We, the her­alds of the King,
How we long the bless­èd mo­ment
Of the sil­ver trumpet’s ring!
When we’re ga­thered to the Sav­ior,
We shall ec­ho the re­frain—
Hallelujah in the high­est!
When the Sav­ior comes again. [Refrain]

4 How it cheers the droop­ing spir­it,
How it sets the soul on fire;
For our ris­en Lord is com­ing,
He our joy, and heart’s des­ire.
We are long­ing to beh­old Him,
Who so soon on earth shall reign;
What a time of won­drous gladn­ess,
When the Sav­ior comes again. [Refrain]
