1 When the Lord in glory cometh
With His hosts in bright array,
And we waken at His summons
In that new and gladsome light,
O the wonder, O the rapture
As we greet the heav’nly day,
When the dawn eternal breaks upon our sight.
Refrain:
We’ll be there, we’ll be there,
On the resurrection morning we’ll be there;
We’ll be there, we’ll be there,
On the resurrection morning we’ll be there.
2 We shall see our blessed Savior
And shall know Him in the skies
As He comes to take His children
Thro’ the gates of shining gold;
We shall hear the shouts of joy that
From unnumbered thousands rise,
As His beauty and His glory they behold. [Refrain]
3 We shall see the countless righteous
Gathering for their great reward,
We shall see the palms of victory
That the saints in gladness bring;
We shall hear the mighty chorus
To the Holy One adored,
As in robes of white they stand before their king. [Refrain]
