In the clouds of heav’n returning
To the earth again
Soon we’ll meet the King of glory
And with Him shall reign.
Tho’ rejected by the builders
Who did Him despise
We’ll be changed and be like Him—
’Tis marvelous in our eyes.
Sing hallelujah! Let the anthem ring;
Shout loud the praises
Of our Savior King:
To His throne of endless glory
We with Him shall rise
Clad in robes of spotless white—
Rise and trim your lamps
ye virgins
For the midnight nears;
Keep them filled with oil
and burning
Till the Lord appears.
Gird your loins about with truth
keep
Looking to the skies
Waiting for our Bridegroom King—
Blessèd are those faithful servants
At our Lord’s return
Whom He’ll find awake and watching;
All the rest shall mourn.
He’ll receive them to Himself
to
Dwell in paradise;
God shall wipe away their tears—
