Dear children, have you ever heard
Jesus the Lord will come,
With archangel’s voice and trump of God
To call His people Home?
Then they who live shall changed be
And they who sleep shall rise;
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 air.
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 be?
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.
