218. Soon Will the Master Come: Soon Pass Away

10s.

Soon will the Master come: soon pass away
 
Our times of conflict, grief and suffering here;
 
Our night of weeping end in cloudless day,
 
And sorrow’s moment like a dream appear;
 
Eternity — with Jesus — in the skies — 
 
How soon that Sun of righteousness may rise!
2
We shall behold Him, whom not seen we love,
 
We shall be with Him, whom we long to see;
 
We shall be like Him, fit for realms above,
 
With Him, and like Him, for eternity!
 
Is now to sit at Jesus’ feet our choice?
 
How will fruition then our souls rejoice!
“And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.” (Revelation 22:4)
“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” (1 Peter 1:8)
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
“For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.” (Luke 20:38)
