244. That Bright and Blessèd Morn Is Near

8,8,6.
by G.W. Frazer
1
That bright and blessèd morn is near
 
When He, the Bridegroom, shall appear,
 
And call His bride away.
 
Her blessing then shall be complete,
 
When with her Lord she takes her seat
 
In everlasting day.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25)
2
The days and nights are gliding past,
 
Soon shall be heard the trumpet’s blast
 
Which wakes the sleeping saints.
 
The dead in Christ in glory rise,
 
When we with them shall reach the skies
 
Where Jesus for us waits.
“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” (Romans 13:12)
“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. 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 4:16-17)
3
What wonder, joy and glad surprise
 
Shall fill our hearts as thus we rise
 
To meet Him in the air;
 
To see His face, to hear His voice,
 
And in His perfect love rejoice,
 
Whose glory then we’ll share.
“And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.” (Revelation 22:4)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” (John 5:25)
“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:24)
4
No more deferred our hope shall be,
 
No longer through a glass we’ll see,
 
But clearly face to face.
 
We’ll dwell with Jesus then above,
 
Whom absent we have learned to love,
 
Blest samples of His grace.
“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2)
“But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.” (Romans 8:25)
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)
“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)
“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)
5
Oh may this hope our spirits cheer,
 
While waiting for our Savior here;
 
He’ll quickly come again.
 
Oh may our hearts look for that day,
 
And to His word responsive say,
 
"Come, Jesus, Lord, Amen."
“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2)
“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)
“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” (Revelation 22:7)
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” (Revelation 22:12)
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13)
