Until He Come!

Until He come—for sure the Mas­ter com­eth—

Until He come my heart shall watch and yearn

With ea­ger love for Him my soul so lov­eth

My Lord and king

who said

I will re­turn.

Until He come! For sure­ly comes the dawn­ing

Of bright­est day this world has ev­er known

When light of Heav­en’s own eter­nal morn­ing

Illumines earth with glo­ry from the throne.

Until He come! Then flee all fear and sad­ness

Lost

ev­er lost in depths of love di­vine!

Then ne’er a tear but born of heart’s deep glad­ness

That I am His

that He the King is mine!

Until He come! Then rap­ture ov­er­flow­ing

When from the skies He comes His own to claim!

O day of days

the Sav­ior’s splen­dors show­ing

The glo­ry of His all ex­cel­ling name!
