1 In expectation sweet,
We’ll wait, and sing, and pray,
Till Christ’s triumphal car we meet,
And see an endless day. MIM 94.1
2 He comes! the Conqueror comes!
Death falls beneath his sword;
The joyful prisoners burst the tombs,
And rise to meet their Lord. MIM 94.2
3 The trumpet sounds, “Awake!
Ye dead, to judgment come!”
The pillars of creation shake,
While man receives his doom. MIM 94.3
4 Thrice happy morn for those
Who love the ways of peace;
No night of sorrow e’er shall close,
Or shade their perfect bliss. MIM 94.4
