- And then will our Lord come to call us away;
- With prayer and with fasting then let us be watching,
- For - well do we know it - He will not delay.

- With great acclamation and trumpet of God,
- To us shall the One whom our hearts are awaiting,
- That very same Jesus, appear in the cloud.

- By God's mighty power from sleep shall awake;

- But Christ all His loved ones together shall take.

- Revealed to our sight in Thy glorious descending,
- Lord Jesus, Thou shalt to Thy lovers appear;
- And then shalt Tghou take us to heaven rejoicing,
- Eternally with Thee Thy glories to share.
