Jesus, faithful to his word
1
Jesus, faithful to his word,Shall with a shout descend;All heaven's host their glorious LordShall joyfully attend.
2
Christ shall come, ye saints, rejoice!He 'll come with thunders loud,With the Archangel's mighty voice,And with the trump of God.
3
First the dead in Christ shall rise;Then we that yet remainShall be caught up into the skies,And see our Lord again.
4
We shall meet him in the air;And all his glory see;We'll know, and love, and praise him there,From death forever free.
5
Who can tell the happinessThis glorious hope affords?Unuttered pleasure we possessIn these reviving words.
