When He Shall Come (Almeda J. Pearce)

When He shall come, resplendent in His glory,

To take His own from out this vale of night,

O may I know the joy at His appearing

Only at morn to walk with Him in white!

 

When I shall stand within the court of heaven

Where white-robed pilgrims pass before my sight

Earth’s martyred saints and blood-washed overcomers

These then are they who walk with Him in white!

 

When He shall call, from earth’s remotest corners,

All who have stood triumphant in His might,

O to be worthy then to stand beside them,

And in that morn to walk with Him in white!
