When Jesus Returns for His Own

There’s com­ing a won­der­ful

Wonderful day

Its glo­ry has nev­er been known;

When free from our bur­dens

We’re go­ing away

As Je­sus re­turns for His own.

When Je­sus re­turns for His own

And car­ries us up to His throne

There’ll be no more sad­ness

But all will be glad­ness

When Je­sus returns for His own.

Then those who have suf­fered

And toiled for His name

Tho’ hat­ed

re­ject­ed

un­known

No long­er shall suf­fer

The world’s scorn and shame

When Je­sus re­turns for His own.

Triumphant they’ll rise

With their Lord in the air

And sit with Him soon on His throne

While those who once ri­di­culed

Weep in des­pair

When Je­sus re­turns for His own.

No long­er we’ll think

Of the tri­als down here

The days when we suf­fered alone

For God’s lov­ing hand

Wipes away ev’ry tear

When Je­sus re­turns for His own.

Then let us be faith­ful

E’en down un­to death

Nor ev­er our trou­bles be­moan

But ren­der Him praise

And re­joice full of faith

That we may be count­ed His own.
