Hymns - The Resurrection - Текст песни

1. Now the shadows of the evening
 Gently steal across the sky;
 Soon we'll see our Savior coming?
 Lo, the hour is drawing nigh?
 Coming for the pure and holy,
 By His saints to be admired?
 Those redeemed from every nation,
 All in garments white attired.
 * Refrain:
 We shall meet Him, we shall meet Him
 With the angels in the air;
 We shall crown Him King of glory,
 In that morning over there.
 2. Quickly as the lightning flashes, In the twinkling of an eye,
 Shall these frail and mortal bodies
 Put on immortality.
 All that sleep shall then awaken;
 Those redeemed of that vast throng
 Shall with angels in the heavens
 Join the everlasting song.
 3. All who in the resurrection
 From their sins have had a part?
 Quickened by the Holy Spirit,
 Made anew in life and heart?
 On the morn of Christ's appearing
 Shall a crown of glory wear:
 They shall rise to meet the Savior?
 Oh, what rapture! I'll be there.
 4. At the thought of that bright morning
 Not a fear steals o'er the soul
 That is robed in white adorning,
 Pressing forward to the goal.
 Nay, reluctantly we linger
 In this world of earthly night,
 When we think of that fair morning
 When our Lord appears in sight.
 5. Into Father's heav'nly kingdom,
 Waiting in the realms of light,
 We shall have abundant entrance,
 We shall shine in glory bright.
 Not a care shall dim its splendor,
 Not a tear, or pain, or sigh;
 Help me like that I may enter
 Those fair mansions by and by.
