1	Rejoice! Rejoice! our King is coming! 
	And the time will not be long, 
	Until we hail the radiant dawning, 
	And lift up the glad new song. 

		Oh, wondrous day! oh, glorious morning, 
		When the Son of Man shall come! 
		May we with lamps all trimmed and burning 
		Gladly welcome His return! 
		Rejoice! Rejoice! our King is coming! 
		And the time will not be long, 
		Until we hail the radiant dawning, 
		And lift up the glad new song. 

2	With joy we wait our King’s returning 
	From His heavenly mansions fair; 
	And with ten thousand saints appearing 
	We shall meet Him in the air. 

3	Oh, may we never weary, watching, 
 	Never lay our armor down 
 	Until He come, and with rejoicing 
 	Give to each the promised crown.
