| 1 | That bright and blessèd morn is near | Hebrews 10:25 |
| When He, the Bridegroom, shall appear, |
| And call His bride away. |
| Her blessing then shall be complete, |
| When with her Lord she takes her seat |
| In everlasting day. |
|
| 2 | The days and nights are gliding past, | Romans 13:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 |
| Soon shall be heard the trumpet's blast |
| Which wakes the sleeping saints. |
| The dead in Christ in glory rise, |
| When we with them shall reach the skies |
| Where Jesus for us waits. |
|
| 3 | What wonder, joy and glad surprise | Revelation 22:4; John 5:25; John 17:24 |
| Shall fill our hearts as thus we rise |
| To meet Him in the air; |
| To see His face, to hear His voice, |
| And in His perfect love rejoice, |
| Whose glory then we'll share. |
|
| 4 | No more deferred our hope shall be, | Romans 5:2; Romans 8:25; 1 Corinthians 13:12; John 14:3; 1 Peter 1:8 |
| No longer through a glass we'll see, |
| But clearly face to face. |
| We'll dwell with Jesus then above, |
| Whom absent we have learned to love, |
| Blest samples of His grace. |
|
| 5 | Oh may this hope our spirits cheer, | Romans 5:2; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Revelation 22:7,12,20; Titus 2:13; Revelation 22:20 |
| While waiting for our Saviour here; |
| He'll quickly come again. |
| Oh may our hearts look for that day, |
| And to His word responsive say, |
| "Come, Jesus, Lord, Amen." |
