7325. When Jesus Comes to Reign

1. Like stars the righteous ones shall shine,
When Jesus comes to reign;
His arms of love will them entwine,
When Jesus comes to reign.

Refrain
When Jesus comes to reign,
When Jesus comes to reign,
His righteous ones shall shine as the stars,
When Jesus comes to reign.

2. Our toils and cares will then be o’er,
When Jesus comes to reign;
With Him we’ll dwell forevermore,
When Jesus comes to reign. [Refrain]

3. Sweet rest will then our portion be,
When Jesus comes to reign;
His joy we’ll share, thro’ eternity,
When Jesus comes to reign. [Refrain]
