Author: Samuel Martin Miller Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #615 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 When Jesus comes in glory,
As Lord and King of kings,
O what a wondrous story
The blessèd Bible brings;
His face will shine like sunlight,
His head be white as snow,
His eyes like flaming firelight,
His feet like brass aglow.
2 His voice like rushing waters
Will reach with mighty sound
Into the deepest quarters
Of all creation round;
And at this wondrous greeting
The dead in Christ shall rise,
Their Lord and Saviour meeting,
In glory in the skies.
3 And we who are believing,
And His appearing love,
Shall know we are receiving
His glory from above;
His resurrection power
Will raise us to the place
Where we that wondrous hour
Shall see Him face to face.
4 O hasten Thine appearing,
Thou Bright and Morning Star!
Lord, may we soon be hearing
The trumpet sound afar;
Thy people are all yearning
To be Thy raptured bride,
And at Thine own returning
Be caught up to Thy side.
Amen. Topics: Last Things Resurrection and Judgment; Trinity, Twenty-sixth Sunday; Names and Office of Christ King; Names and Office of Christ Lord; Names and Office of Christ Morning Star Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Languages: English Tune Title: DAYSTAR
