When the Savior Comes Again

Oh

the night is long and drea­ry

But the break­ing dawn is near

And the Lord in dazz­ling splen­dor

Now shall speed­ily ap­pear;

And our loved ones calm­ly sleep­ing

That are done with grief and pain

We shall meet them in the glo­ry

When the Sav­ior comes again.

In that morn­ing

in that morn­ing

In the bright­ness of His glo­ry

He to earth will come again;

With Him come the saints and an­gels

For He’s com­ing back to earth

Again to reign.

Oh

the joy­ful re­sur­rect­ion!

’Tis a bless­èd hope in­deed

For the ones who sleep in Jesus

And from sin and sor­row freed;

We shall be caught up to­gether

With them we shall join the strain

Of the praise for our sal­va­tion

When the Sav­ior comes again.

Oh

the signs in­crease around us

We

the her­alds of the King

How we long the bless­èd mo­ment

Of the sil­ver trump­et’s ring!

When we’re ga­thered to the Sav­ior

We shall ec­ho the re­frain—

Hallelujah in the high­est!

When the Sav­ior comes again.

How it cheers the droop­ing spir­it

How it sets the soul on fire;

For our ris­en Lord is com­ing

He our joy

and heart’s des­ire.

We are long­ing to beh­old Him

Who so soon on earth shall reign;

What a time of won­drous gladn­ess

When the Sav­ior comes again.
