When the King Shall Come (Hilton)

When the King shall come

At the end of days

All the saints of our God

Will be wel­comed home;

’Round the throne

They will ga­ther to sing His praise

And will nev­er again

From His pal­ace roam.

When the King shall come

When the King shall come

Songs of joy will re­sound

From the east and west

And the saved will re­joice

In that land of rest

When the King shall come

When the King shall come;

There’ll be glo­ry when

The King shall come.

When the King shall come

Will He wel­come you?

Will He give you a place

With the saints who reign?

Or when judged by the King

In the last re­view

Will you pass to the realms

Of eter­nal pain?

When the King shall come

With a shout at dawn

Earth and stars will dis­solve

In a fer­vent heat;

Jeweled crowns

from the mon­archs

Of earth with­drawn

Will be cast with ho­san­nas

At Je­sus’ feet.
