Text: | Jesus, faithful to his word |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | ADVENT |
Composer: | Edwin Barnes |
1 Jesus, faithful to his word,
Shall with a shout descend;
All heaven's host their glorious Lord
Shall joyfully attend.
2 Christ shall come, ye saints, rejoice!
He'll come with thunders loud,
With the Archangel's mighty voice,
And with the trump of God.
3 First the dead in Christ shall rise;
Then we that yet remain
Shall be caught up into the skies,
And see our Lord again.
4 We shall meet him in the air;
And all his glory see;
We'll know, and love, and praise him there,
From death forever free.
5 Who can tell the happiness
This glorious hope affords?
Unuttered pleasure we possess
In these reviving words.
