Christ Returneth

It may be at morn

When the day is awak­ing

When sun­light through dar­kness

And sha­dow is break­ing

That Je­sus will come

In the full­ness of glo­ry

To re­ceive from the world His own.

O Lord Je­sus

how long

how long

Ere we shout the glad song

Christ re­turn­eth! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! Amen.

It may be at mid­day

It may be at twi­light

It may be

per­chance

That the black­ness of mid­night

Will burst in­to light

In the blaze of His glo­ry

When Je­sus re­ceives His own.

While its hosts cry Ho­san­na

From Heav­en des­cend­ing

With glo­ri­fied saints

And the an­gels at­tend­ing

With grace on His brow

Like a ha­lo of glo­ry

Will Je­sus rec­eive His own.

Oh

joy! oh

de­light!

Should we go with­out dy­ing

No sick­ness

no sad­ness

So dread and no cry­ing.

Caught up through the clouds

With our Lord in­to glo­ry

When Je­sus re­ceives His own.
