When Jesus Comes

Down death’s dark vale we wan­der

Till Je­sus comes;

We watch and wait and won­der

Till Je­sus comes.

All joy His loved ones bring­ing

When Je­sus comes;

All praise through Heav­en ring­ing

When Je­sus comes.

All beau­ty bright and ver­nal

When Je­sus comes;

All glo­ry

grand

eter­nal

When Je­sus comes.

Oh

let my lamp be burn­ing

When Je­sus comes;

For Him my soul be yearn­ing

When Je­sus comes.

No more heart pangs nor sad­ness

When Je­sus comes;

All peace and joy and glad­ness

When Je­sus comes.

All doubts and fears will van­ish

When Je­sus comes;

All gloom His face will ban­ish

When Je­sus comes.

He’ll know the way was drea­ry

When Je­sus comes;

He’ll know the feet grew wea­ry

When Je­sus comes.

He’ll know what griefs op­pressed me

When Je­sus comes;

Oh

how His arms will rest me!

When Je­sus comes.
