We love Thy coming, Lord

We love Thy coming

Lord!

We know not when ’twill be

But turn from all distracting things

Thine own dear face to see.

We serve the living God

And wait His Son to see;

For this we need faith

love

and hope

Increasing constantly.

In Thy dear presence

Lord

We hope we all may be

A crown of glory and a joy

To those we then shall see.

We love Thy coming

Lord;

The time is very nigh.

Our hearts unblameable must be

To greet Thee from on high.

The Lord Himself shall come

With loud assembling word

And all the saints in Christ shall be

Forever with the Lord.

We’re children of the day

We’re children of the light;

That day should never come to us

As does a thief at night.

Lord

wholly sanctify

And blameless let us be

In spirit

soul

and body too

For that blest day with Thee.
