Oh happy morn! the Lord will come
 
And take His waiting people home
 
Beyond the reach of care;
 
Where guilt and sin are all unknown:
 
The Lord will come and claim His own,
 
And place them with Him on His throne,
 
The glory bright to share.
“For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” (Hebrews 10:37)
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thessalonians 1:10)
“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.” (Revelation 21:27)
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” (Revelation 3:21)
“They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.” (John 19:24)

The resurrection morn will break,
 
And every sleeping saint awake,
 
Brought forth in light again;
 
Oh morn, too bright for mortal eyes!
 
When all the ransomed church shall rise
 
And wing their way to yonder skies — 
 
Called up with Christ to reign.
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

O Lord! our pilgrim spirits long
 
To sing the everlasting song
 
Of glory, honor, power;
 
Till then when Thou all power shalt wield,
 
Blest Savior, Thou wilt be our shield,
 
For Thou hast to our souls revealed
 
Thyself our strength and tower.
“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” (1 Peter 2:11)
“And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” (Revelation 5:13)
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” (Psalm 84:11)
“<<A Psalm of David.>> The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)
“For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.” (Psalm 61:3)
