1. If Jesus should appear
Now at this very moment,
We have no cause to fear;
No, but with deep abasement,
Joyful we would adore
The Lamb Who shed His blood,
And own Him evermore
Our Saviour, Lord and God.
2. A h! might the time soon come,
When Thou, our souls’ Belov’d,
Shalt take Thy brethren home,
And shew them all approv’d;
When we shall all behold
Him Whom by faith we know,
Chief Shepherd of the fold,
Saviour from ev’ry foe!
3. Hear Thou Thy people’s cry,
O Jesus, Christ and Lord,
And bring that glory nigh
As promis’d in Thy w ord;
And when Thou shalt assign
His lot to ev’ry one,
Thy righteousness divine
Shall be our boast alone.
