Hymn 54 WHAT IF IT WERE TODAY? Lyrics

1. Jesus is coming to earth again.
What if it were today?
Coming in love and power to reign,
What if it were today?
Coming to claim His chosen Bride,
All the redeemed and purified.
Over this whole earth scattered wide,
What if it were today?

Chorus
Glory, glory! Joy to my heart ’twill bring:
Glory, glory! When we shall crown Him
King: Glory, glory! Haste to prepare the
way: Glory, glory! Jesus will come
someday.

2. Satan’s dominion will then be o’er.
O that it were today?
Sorrowing and sighing shall be no more,
O that it were today?
Then shall the dead in Christ arise,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
When shall these glories meet our eyes?
What if it were today?

3. Faithfull and true would He find us here
If He should come today?
Watching in gladness and not in fear,
If He should come today?
Signs of His coming multiply,
Morning light breaks in eastern sky,
Watch, for the time is drawing nigh,
What if it were today?
