Representative Text

1 Our Saviour has gone to the mansions of light,
A dark cloud has hidden His form from our sight;
But He is preparing a kingdom on high,
And He will return for his friends, bye and bye.

2 Then do not be troubled, let not your heart fear,
Though veiled from our vision, His Spirit is near;
Not comfortless orphans, but children from home,
We’ll patiently wait till the Saviour shall come.

3 All glory and praise to Jehovah, our King!
Take the cup of salvation, and joyfully sing;
His word, ever faithful, is pledged to defend
Each sheep of his flock even unto the end.
