When the Lord descends from heaven

When the Lord descends from heaven

and God’s trumpet sound we hear

Those who sleep will rise

and death will swallowed be.

When the Lord descends from heaven

raptured we will be who live

And our bodies be transformed in liberty.

When the Lord will come in glory

We will see His glorious body;

When the Lord will come in glory

To transfigure all His sons

we’ll have a share.

When the Lord descends from heaven

then the morning bright will dawn

This dark night will pass

and weeping will be o’er.

When the Lord descends from heaven

days of glory will begin;

Sighing and corruption gone forevermore.

E’er the Lord will come from heaven

the bright morning star will shine

Those who watch escape the trial

gain the prize.

Then the Lord will come and as the Sun of righteousness will reign;

Earth will be restored

God’s mercy realize.

Soon the Lord will come from heaven; may we watch and wait with prayer

Loins be girt about

and lamps be burning bright.

Soon the Lord will come from heaven

may we serve Him faithfully

Thus the ministry fulfill

our gifts incite.
