When Jesus Comes.

By M. Wells

WHEN Jesus comes! said a dying saint, I'll leave the grave, and all earthly taint, I'll speed me away to the land of light, And join the song of the angels bright.
When Jesus comes! said a trembling soul, I shall dread no longer sin's control, I'll be happy then, with my sins forgiven, And bask in the smile of the God of Heaven.
When Jesus comes! said a parted friend, We shall meet again where all sorrows end. We shall part no more. Oh, 'twill joyful be To dwell forever from partings free.
When Jesus comes! said a lonely one, I shall leave this path which I've trod alone, And hold converse sweet with God's chosen ones; May patience be mine till my work is done.
When Jesus comes! I oft breath in prayer, May I stand before him pure and fair, May my robes be washed in the crimson tide Which flowed from the Saviour's bleeding side.
When Jesus comes! all ye waiting souls, With a trumpet voice that will shake the poles, May your shout go up, We have waited long, Our God will save; for his arm is strong. M. WELLS. Clarendon, Mich.
