Till Jesus Comes

Till Je­sus comes

we’ll la­bor

watch and pray

In His dear serv­ice spend each wait­ing day

And while His work our lov­ing hands em­ploy

We up­ward gaze

and watch for Him with joy.

For He’ll come

yes

He’ll come

His pro­mise to ful­fill;

The hope of His ap­pear­ing:

Our hearts with rap­ture fill;

We’re wait­ing for the dawn

Of earth’s mil­len­ni­al morn

When we’ll greet our glo­ri­ous bride­groom

King of kings.

I’ll come again

we read the mes­sage sweet

Its words of cheer to wea­ry hearts re­peat;

Tell of His blood that cleans­eth from all sin

The joy He gives

the vic­to­ry with­in.

O Bride of Christ

be faith­ful to thy Lord

To ev­ery na­tion speed His part­ing word;

Be filled with faith

and keep the heart aglow

Let all the world your hope in Je­sus know.

The toil and suf­fer­ing here will soon be o’er

And with the Lord we’ll be for­ev­er­more;

Go la­bor on

and for His com­ing pray;

O bless­èd hope! we’ll see His face some day.
