O hope of glory
our Christ will return!
We will be raptured
with glory transformed;
Glorified with Him
Himself to enjoy
In His full likeness we then will be formed.
Glorious hope! Christ will return!
Glorious hope! Christ will return!
We will be raptured
with glory transformed;
O hope of glory
our Christ will return!
O hope of glory
our Christ will return!
The old creation will vanish away
No more we’ll groan
but have full liberty.
Enjoy salvation in its utmost way.
O hope of glory
our Christ will return!
Over the nations with Him we will reign
Priests we will be in His presence to serve
Thus His salvation in fulness we’ll gain.
O hope of glory
our Christ will return!
Waiting and watching
we faithfully serve
Running the race
pressing on toward the goal
That we the Kingdom’s reward might deserve.
