WHEN JESUS RETURNS FOR HIS OWN

1. There’s coming a wonderful, wonderful day,
    Its glory has never been known;
    When free from burdens we’re going away,
    As Jesus returns for His own.

                        CHORUS

             When Jesus returns for His own,
             And carries us up to His throne;
             There’ll be no more sadness, but all will be Gladness,
             When Jesus returns for His own.                                                           
            
2. Then those who have suffered and toiled for His name,
    Tho’ hated, rejected, unknown,
    No longer shall suffer the world’s scorn and shame,
    When Jesus returns for His own.

3. Triumphant they’ll rise with their Lord in the air,
    And sit with him Heirs on His throne,
    While those who once ridiculed weep in despair,
    When Jesus returns to His own.

4.  No longer we’ll think of the trials down here,
    The days when we suffered alone,
    For God’s loving hand wipes away ev’ry tear,
    When Jesus returns for His own.

5. Then let us be faithful and true unto death,
    Nor ever our trials bemoan,
    But render him praise, and rejoice full of faith,
    That we may be counted His own.
