| Text: | "Till he come" |
| Author: | E. H. Bickersteth |
| Tune: | ROCK OF AGES |
| Composer: | Thomas Hastings |
1 "Till He come:" oh, let the words
Linger on the trembling chords;
Let the little while between
In their golden light be seen;
Let us think how heaven and home
Lie beyond that--"Till he come."
2 When the weary ones we love
Enter on their rest above,
Seems the earth so poor and vast,
All our life-joy overcast?
Hush, be every murmur dumb;
It is only--"Till he come."
3 See, the feast of love is spread,
Drink the wine, and break the bread;
Sweet memorials,--till the Lord
Call us round his heavenly board;
Some from earth, from glory some,
Severed only--"Till he come."
