Author: John Paul Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16054 First Line: If Jesus should come in the rise of the morning Refrain First Line: He will come! He will come, tho’ we know not how soon Lyrics: 1 If Jesus should come in the rise of the morning,
When all of the world is engrossed in its care,
How many dear hearts could, their Master discerning,
Release themselves quickly and welcome Him here?
Refrain:
He will come! He will come, tho’ we know not how soon;
It may be at night, or it may be at noon!
Are we ready to meet Him? Are we waiting to greet Him
With a loud hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen.
2 Or if He should come in the bright hour of noonday,
With light far more glorious than that of the sun,
How many have eyes that could gaze on His glory,
And hearts that could shout Even so, let Him come? [Refrain]
3 If, just as the sun should pass into his hiding,
A radiance like lightning should shine from the east,
And down with the light Jesus Christ should come gliding,
Oh, who would be ready to welcome our guest? [Refrain]
4 If, deep in the night, when the third watch is starting,
A cry should go forth that the Bridegroom is here;
If upward in rapture the Bride were departing,
Could you with that host meet the Lord in the air? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [If Jesus should come in the rise of the morning]
