Jesus is coming with joy to the sky
“Behold He cometh with clouds” Rev. 1:7
1.
Jesus is coming with joy to the sky
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
Then all who love Him shall heaven-ward fly
Oh, happy day! happy day
Upward shall fly to the Lord in the air;
Together with Jesus we all shall be there
Far from the earth, and from sorrow and care
Oh, happy day! happy day!
2.
Parents and children shall then again meet
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
Sisters and brothers oh, it will be sweet
Oh, happy day! happy day!
We miss’d then on earth, to Jesus they went
We love them as ever; their absence lament;
Soon we shall meet them, and then be content
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
3.
Are we all ready, should Jesus now call?
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
Would each one answer, the great and the small?
Oh, happy day! happy day!
We long to rise up and with Thee to be
Thy face, blessed Jesus our Saviour to see
Would you then, dear children, sing sweetly with me
Oh, happy day! happy day!
4.
Some will stay weeping unable to sing
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
Yet all may rejoice their glad praises bring
Oh, happy day! happy day!
For Jesus still waits, He tarries that we
May trust in His name; and thus ready may be
When brightly beaming, His glory we see
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
Amen
