When Jesus Comes Again
Author: J. V. Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #38 (1896) First Line: The night is long and dreary Lyrics: 1 The night is long and dreary,
But breaking dawn is near;
The Lord in dazzling splendor
Shall speedily appear;
Our loved ones calmly sleeping,
Have done with grief and pain;
We’ll meet them in the glory,
When Jesus comes again.
Refrain:
When Jesus comes again,
When Jesus comes again,
O day of joy and gladness,
When Jesus comes again.
2 Oh, joyful resurrection!
A “blessed hope” indeed
For those who “sleep in Jesus,”
From sin and sorrow freed;
And we, “caught up” together,
With them shall join the strain
Of praise for our salvation,
When Jesus comes again. [Refrain]
3 The “signs” increase around us,
The heralds of the King;
O for the happy moment
When silver trumpets ring!
When, gathered to the Saviour,
We echo the refrain—
“Hosanna in the highest!”
When Jesus comes again. [Refrain]
4 It cheers the drooping spirit,
It sets the soul on fire;
Our risen Lord is coming,
Our joy, and heart’s desire;
We’re longing to behold Him
Who soon on earth shall reign;
O time of wondrous gladness,
When Jesus comes again. [Refrain] Topics: Coming of Christ Scripture: Acts 1:11 Tune Title: [The night is long and dreary]

================
Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936.
