When on Clouds of Glory

When on clouds of glo­ry

Jesus comes again

Comes with shin­ing an­gels

Evermore to reign;

Will we greet His tri­umph

With a song of praise?

Or in si­lent rap­ture

On His beau­ty gaze?

On the Mount of Ol­ives

When His feet shall rest

Where shall we be num­bered

you and I?

Called among the ran­somed

Known among the blest?

Shall we there be num­bered

you and I?

When the great arch­an­gel

Sounds the trum­pet clear

So from earth and ocean

All the dead shall hear

Will our brows

il­lum­ined

Bear the sav­ing name?

Will we meet King Je­sus

With a glad ac­claim?

When the sky ab­ove us

On that fi­nal day

When the scenes around us

Pass in flame away;

Then will Je­sus claim us

As His ve­ry own?

Then will we be stand­ing

Saved

be­fore His throne?
