#900Jesus, faithful to his word

Jesus, faithful to his word, Shall with a shout descend; All heaven's host their glorious Lord Shall joyfully attend.

Christ shall come, ye saints, rejoice! He'll come with bounding joy; With the Archangel's mighty voice, And with the trump of God.

First, the dead in Christ shall rise; Then we that yet remain Shall be caught up into the skies, And see our Lord again.

We shall meet him in the air, And all his glory see; We'll know, and love, and praise him there, From death forever free.

Who can tell the blissful hour? This glorious hope affords? Unuttered pleasure we possess In these reviving words.
