In a Moment, Oh! How Wondrous

lyricist: Anonymous, 1911
Composer: Joachim Neander, 1680

In a mo­ment

oh! how won­drous

In the twink­ling of an eye!

Face to face

to be with Je­sus

Through a long eter­ni­ty!

Come

then

Sav­ior

quick­ly come

Take Thy wait­ing peo­ple home.

In a mo­ment

oh

how pre­cious

In the twink­ling of an eye!

We shall trace Thy ways mys­ter­ious

Learn them there with­out a sigh.

Darkly now

we see Thy grace

Then it will be face to face.

In a mo­ment

loved and lost ones;

In the twink­ling of an eye;

By the trum­pet roused to sum­mons

Shall be caught up to the sky.

We and they

it is Thy word

Shall be ev­er with the Lord.

In a mo­ment

Christ des­cend­ing

In the twink­ling of an eye

He shall reign

His reign un­end­ing

King of kings en­throned on high.

Come

then

Sav­ior

let us there

In Thy pow­er and tri­umph share.
