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)
2
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.
3
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.
