When our Lord comes in glory and we’re raptured to

lyricist: Fanny Jane Crosby
Composer: John Robson Sweney

When our Lord comes in glory and we’re raptured to His side

When that bright and glorious moment we shall see

We shall know our dear Bridegroom as He comes to take His Bride

And He’ll know the Bride He’s loved so tenderly.

We shall know Him! We shall know Him!

When we see Him

our Bridegroom glorified!

He shall know us! He shall know us!

We’re His church

His beloved

and His Bride!

Even now in the Spirit He reveals Himself to us

And His Person dear we’ve learned to recognize.

But our eyes shall behold Him—O what rapture glorious

When we gaze on Him unveiled in the skies!

In the Word we have seen Him shining forth in truth and grace

O how blessed to behold His features thus!

But the day soon is coming when we’ll see Him face to face

He

the living Word

in full revealed to us.

In the brothers and sisters

O how blest to see the Lord

In their attitudes and actions Christ expressed!

But the day soon is coming when in rapturous accord

We shall see His Person fully manifest.

In the meetings of the churches He’s unveiled increasingly—

O the joy unspeakable and glory too!

As the meetings grow higher we’re expecting soon to see

The full glory of our Lord come into view.
