Dear children, have you ever heard
That Christ the Lord will come,
With angel’s voice and trump of God,
To call His people home?
Then they who live shall changed be,
And they who sleep shall wake;
The graves shall yield their ancient charge.
And Christ His people take.
The saints of God, from death set free,
With joy shall mount on high;
The heaven shall ring with praises loud,
They’ll meet Him, in the sky.
Together to their Father’s house
With joyful hearts they go,
To dwell forever with the Lord,
Beyond the reach of woe.
O, say, if He should come today,
Would you in terror he?
Or would you lift your heads with joy,
The blessed Lord to see?
O! children, seek the Saviour now
The Saviour full of love;
And when He comes He’ll take you up
To His bright home above.
