When He Comes (Hoffman)

lyricist: Elisha Hoffmann, 1889
Composer: John Tenney

That will be a hap­py morn­ing

When He comes

when He comes;

Ended then our grief and mourn­ing

When He comes

when He comes;

All earth’s sor­row­ing and sad­ness

Will be turned to joy and glad­ness

When the King of glo­ry comes

When He comes.

When the King of glo­ry comes

What a glo­ri­ous day

When the King of glo­ry comes

Sin will pass away;

On the throne our king will reign

All will be per­fect­ion then;

Peace will come to earth again

When He comes.

Life will all be fair­er

bright­er

When He comes

when He comes;

Hearts will then be pur­er

whit­er

When He comes

when He comes;

Christ

fore­told in song and sto­ry

Then will ma­ni­fest His glo­ry

When the King of glo­ry comes

When He comes.

Lo! the day is swift­ly wan­ing

When He comes

when He comes;

Ready be for His ap­pear­ing

When He comes

when He comes;

Soul

put on thy best adorn­ing

Patiently await the morn­ing

When the King of glo­ry comes

When He comes.
