Our Savior Will Descend Again

Our Sav­ior will des­cend again

Earth’s bur­ied mill­ions rais­ing;

With Him will come a glo­ri­ous train

Adoring Him and prais­ing.

Raise high the song that loud and long

Before Him ceas­eth nev­er

Till

cast­ing down each gold­en crown

We wor­ship Him for­ev­er.

And though these bo­dies lie in dust

Before that glad ap­pear­ing

Yet shall they stand among the just

Our Sav­ior’s im­age wear­ing.

What

though earth’s ga­ther­ing tem­pests low­er

And ag­es pass in sad­ness?

Yet we may see that glo­ri­ous hour

And hail the dawn with glad­ness.

Then

safe at last

this bless­èd throng

Set free from tri­bu­la­tion

Shall ev­er praise in ho­ly song

The God of their sal­va­tion.
