If Jesus Should Come

If Je­sus should come in the rise of the morn­ing

When all of the world is en­grossed in its care

How many dear hearts could

their Mas­ter dis­cern­ing

Release them­selves quick­ly and wel­come Him here?

He will come! He will come

tho’ we know not how soon;

It may be at night

or it may be at noon!

Are we rea­dy to meet Him? Are we wait­ing to greet Him

With a loud hal­le­lu­jah

hal­le­lu­jah

Amen.

Or if He should come in the bright hour of noon­day

With light far more glo­ri­ous than that of the sun

How ma­ny have eyes that could gaze on His glo­ry

And hearts that could shout Ev­en so

let Him come?

If

just as the sun should pass in­to his hid­ing

A ra­di­ance like light­ning should shine from the east

And down with the light Je­sus Christ should come glid­ing

Oh

who would be rea­dy to wel­come our guest?

If

deep in the night

when the third watch is start­ing

A cry should go forth that the Bride­groom is here;

If up­ward in rap­ture the Bride were de­part­ing

Could you with that host meet the Lord in the air?
