Hymn 184 CHRIST RETURNETH Lyrics

1. It may be at mom, when the day is awaking.
When sunlight thro’ darkness and
shadow is breaking,
That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory.
To receive from the world “His own”

Chorus:
O Lord Jesus, how long, how long
Ere we shout the glad song,Christ returneth!
Hallelujah Hallelujah! Amen Hallelujah! Amen

2. It may be at midday it may be at twilight,
It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight,
Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory,
when Jesus receive “His own”

3. While its hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending.
With glorified saints and the angels attending.
With grace on His brow, like a Halo of glory,
Will Jesus receive “His own”

4. Oh, joy! Oh, delight! Should we go without dying.
No sickness, no deadness, no dread and no crying.
Caught up thro’ the clouds with our Lord into glory.
When Jesus receives “His own”
