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.
We will see His glorious body;
When the Lord will come in glory,
To transfigure all His sons, we’ll have a share.
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.
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.
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.
