WHEN JESUS COMES.

By Eliza J. Young

When Jesus comes, said a pilgrim here, I shall soar to meet him in yonder air; I shall leave this world so dark and drear, And the light of his love forever share.
When Jesus comes, his saints who sleep In safety ’neath his watchful eye, Shall leave their graves so dark and deep, For thrones of joy with Christ on high.
When Jesus comes, we’ll meet again, All free from our great tempter’s wiles, In a land that knows no grief nor pain, But basks in the light of a Saviour’s smiles.
When Jesus comes, said a dying one, I’ll join in the song of the angels bright; For he will burst my silent tomb, And take me to that land of light.
When Jesus comes, said a trembling soul, I shall be safe with Christ at last, No more to fear sin’s dark control, When all the ills of earth are past.
