1 All of my trials will flee away,
When Jesus shall come again;
Darkness will change to a golden day,
When Jesus shall come again.
Refrain:
When Jesus shall come again,
When Jesus shall come again;
My heart will be singing,
The joybells be ringing,
When Jesus shall come again.
2 Ev’ry temptation will disappear,
When Jesus shall come again;
Banished will be ev’ry pain and fear,
When Jesus shall come again. [Refrain]
3 Heartbreak and anguish will come no more,
When Jesus shall come again;
Peace will be reigning in place of war,
When Jesus shall come again. [Refrain]
4 Songs of deliv’rance will ever ring,
When Jesus shall come again;
Multitudes gladly shall crown Him King,
When Jesus shall come again. [Refrain]
