When Jesus Comes Again

Author: J. V. Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #38 (1896) First Line: The night is long and dreary Lyrics: 1 The night is long and dreary, But breaking dawn is near; The Lord in dazzling splendor Shall speedily appear; Our loved ones calmly sleeping, Have done with grief and pain; We’ll meet them in the glory, When Jesus comes again. Refrain: When Jesus comes again, When Jesus comes again, O day of joy and gladness, When Jesus comes again. 2 Oh, joyful resurrection! A “blessed hope” indeed For those who “sleep in Jesus,” From sin and sorrow freed; And we, “caught up” together, With them shall join the strain Of praise for our salvation, When Jesus comes again. [Refrain] 3 The “signs” increase around us, The heralds of the King; O for the happy moment When silver trumpets ring! When, gathered to the Saviour, We echo the refrain— “Hosanna in the highest!” When Jesus comes again. [Refrain] 4 It cheers the drooping spirit, It sets the soul on fire; Our risen Lord is coming, Our joy, and heart’s desire; We’re longing to behold Him Who soon on earth shall reign; O time of wondrous gladness, When Jesus comes again. [Refrain] Topics: Coming of Christ Scripture: Acts 1:11 Tune Title: [The night is long and dreary]
