Author: J. E. Landor Hymnal: Christ in Song #43 (1908) First Line: Called to the feast by the King are we Refrain First Line: When the King comes in, brother 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 the 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 dress'd;
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]
5 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: Invitation and Repentance Decision Day; Invitation and Repentance The Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: [Called to the feast by the King are we]
