1     Lord, Thou wilt soon appear,

       Thy day is almost here.

    Oh, how we love Thy coming soon!

       We have no other

       Lord, life, or lover

    Than Thou, Lord Jesus, our Bridegroom!

 2     The hour is drawing nigh,

       Soon we shall hear Thy cry

    And with Thee in the clouds descend.

       Oh what an hour sweet

       When Bride and Bridegroom meet

    And love surpassing comprehend.

 3     The moments fly apace,

       Soon we shall see Thy face!

    Amen, Lord Jesus! Quickly come!

       We long Thyself to see

       And with Thee ever be,

    Thou who our inmost heart hath won.

 4     'Tis but a moment now;

       Thou, our Lord Bridegroom, Thou

    Soon wilt return to claim Thy Bride.

       O Hallelujah!

       'Tis this we long for,

    And Thou too wilt be satisfied.
