7s.

1
Christ the Lord will come again,
 
None shall wait for Him in vain;
 
We shall then His glory see;
 
His who died to set us free.
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3)
“But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” (1 Peter 4:13)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
2
Then, when the archangel’s voice
 
Calls the sleeping saints to rise,
 
Rising millions shall proclaim
 
Blessings on the Savior’s name.
“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.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
3
"This is our redeeming God!"
 
Ransomed hosts will shout aloud:
 
"Praise, eternal praise be given
 
To the Lord of earth and heaven!"
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)
“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)
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” (Acts 17:24)
