CH1941, Hymn #538

Verse 1
When Jesus shall gather the nations,
Before Him at last to appear,
Then how shall we stand in the judgment,
When summoned our sentence to hear?

Verse 2
Shall we hear, from the lips of the Saviour,
The words "Faithful servant, well done,"
Or, trembling with fear and with anguish,
Be banished away from His throne?

Verse 3
He will smile when He looks on His children,
And sees on the ransomed His seal;
He will clothe them in heavenly beauty,
As low at His footstool they kneel.

Verse 4
Then let us be watching and waiting,
With lamps burning steady and bright;
When the Bridegroom shall call to the wedding,
O may we be ready for flight!</div>

Verse 5
Thus living with hearts fixed on heaven,
In patience we wait for the time
When, the days of our pilgrimage ended,
We'll bask in the presence divine.
