Author: J. E. Landor Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1319 (1886) First Line: Called to the feast by the King are we Lyrics: 1 Called to the feast by the King are we,
Sitting, perhaps, where his people be;
How will it fare, friend, with thee and me
When the King comes in?
Refrain:
When the King comes in, brother,
When the King comes in!
How will it fare with thee and me
When the King comes in?
2 Crowns on the head where thorns have been,
Glorified he who once died for men;
Splendid the vision before us then,
When the King comes in. [Refrain]
3 Like lightning's flash will that instant show
Things hidden long from both friend and foe;
Just what we are will each neighbor know,
When the King comes in. [Refrain]
4 Joyful his eye shall on each one rest
Who is in white wedding garments dressed;
Ah! well for us if we stand the test,
When the King comes in. [Refrain]
5 Endless the sad separation then,
Bitter the cry of deluded men,
Awful that moment of anguish when
Christ the King, comes in. [Refrain]
6 Lord, grant us all, we implore thee, grace,
So to await thee each in his place,
That we may fear not to see thy face
When thou comest in. [Refrain] Topics: Bible Songs Judgment and Second Advent Scripture: Matthew 24:34 Tune Title: WHEN THE KING COMES IN
