 1  We love Thy coming, Lord!

    We know not when 'twill be,

    But turn from all distracting things

    Thine own dear face to see.

 

 2  We serve the living God

    And wait His Son to see;

    For this we need faith, love, and hope,

    Increasing constantly.

 

 3  In Thy dear presence, Lord,

    We hope we all may be

    A crown of glory and a joy

    To those we then shall see.

 

 4  We love Thy coming, Lord;

    The time is very nigh.

    Our hearts unblameable must be

    To greet Thee from on high.

 

 5  The Lord Himself shall come

    With loud assembling word,

    And all the saints in Christ shall be

    Forever with the Lord.

 

 6  We're children of the day,

    We're children of the light;

    That day should never come to us

    As does a thief at night.

 

 7  Lord, wholly sanctify

    And blameless let us be

    In spirit, soul, and body too

    For that blest day with Thee.
