Till Christ Shall Come

Thro’ life’s dark vales and sha­dows

Till Christ shall come

We’ll wan­der on our jour­ney

Till Christ shall come;

E’en tho’ the way seems drea­ry

Till Christ shall come

We’ll bear our bur­dens meek­ly

Till Christ shall come;

Then

with the ho­ly an­gels

Singing God’s love

With friends and saints im­mor­tal

In realms ab­ove:

Singing with hal­le­lu­jahs

Triumphant songs

To God the Son and Spir­it

All praise be­longs.

We’ll strug­gle on and la­bor

Till Christ shall come

Helping our wea­ry neigh­bor

Till Christ shall come;

’Twill make the way less drea­ry

Till Christ shall come

To keep the sad and wea­ry

Till Christ shall come;

Then

oh

what glo­ry waits us

In Heav’n to sing;

Our Fa­ther’s smiles to greet us

Pure joys will bring;

Then

O my soul

take cour­age

Rest in His love

Till Christ shall come to take us

To Heav’n above.

We’ll thank our heav’n­ly Fa­ther

Till Christ shall come

For sun­shine

show­er and sha­dow

Till Christ shall come:

With lamps all full and wait­ing

Till Christ shall come

We’ll keep them trimmed and burn­ing

Till Christ shall come;

Then to His fold in glo­ry

Where all is fair;

His arms are strong to take us

With lov­ing care;

Then

on the wings of morn­ing

We’ll soar away

By wa­ters and green pas­tures

To end­less day.
