We Shall Come Rejoicing

We shall come rejoicing when the harvest is o’er 

Joyful songs we’ll be voicing as our spirits soar

As the trumpet sounds, we shall shield our eyes

As his Majesty splits open the eastern skies  

Past and present Saints meet him in the air 

The dead in Christ shall rise and in the praise they’ll share 

Glory hallelujah then will be our song 

For our Lord returns and it will not be long 

Then our Savior draws us near unto his side 

Those who are in Christ forever will abide 

At the consummation, His kingdom comes 

Once for all forever, it is said and done 

For then, our adoption shall be complete 

As the redeemed all gather at the mercy seat

Eternal praise, united will then begin 

As it was in the beginning, it shall be at the end 

There are some things that remain a mystery 

When there is no Sin for eternity 

We shall see God’s promises forever true 

There in glory eternal we sing our hallelu!

Then our Savior draws us near unto his side 

Those who are in Christ forever will abide 

At the consummation, His kingdom comes 

Once for all forever, it is said and done
