Till Christ shall come

1 Thro’ life’s dark vales and shadows, till Christ shall come,
We’ll wander on our journey, till Christ shall come;
E’en tho’ the way seems dreary, till Christ shall come,
We’ll bear our burdens meekly, till Christ shall come;
Then, with the holy angels, singing God’s love,
With friends and saints immortal in realms above:
Singing with hallelujahs, triumphant songs
To God the Son and Spirit all praise belongs.

2 We’ll struggle on and labor, till Christ shall come,
Helping our weary neighbor, till Christ shall come;
’Twill make the way less dreary, till Christ shall come,
To keep the sad and weary, till Christ shall come;
Then, oh, what glory waits us, in Heav’n to sing;
Our Father’s smiles to greet us pure joys will bring;
Then, O my soul, take courage, rest in His love
Till Christ shall come to take us to Heav’n above.

3 We’ll thank our heav’nly Father, till Christ shall come,
For sunshine, shower and shadow, till Christ shall come:
With lamps all full and waiting till Christ shall come,
We’ll keep them trimmed and burning till Christ shall come;
Then to His fold in glory, where all is fair;
His arms are strong to take us with loving care;
Then, on the wings of morning, we’ll soar away,
By waters and green pastures, to endless day.
