24. Hope of the Ages

1. Jesus, King of Glory is coming again,
He's coming with power forever to reign;
The heavens will part, from his presence be hurled,
When Jesus appears as the Judge of the world.

Chorus:
The Redeemer once came the lost ones to seek,
He is coming again his saved ones to greet;
Be ready to dwell in that country so fair,
Blest Hope of the Ages, we long to be there.

2. The saints who have slept thro' the ages will come,
The dead in Christ Jesus, first rise from the tomb;
Then we shall with them be caught up in the air,
Triumphant in glory, immortal and fair. [Chorus]

3. The saints will unite Jesus' glory to share,
And dwell in that city he's gone to prepare;
No night e'er shall come in that city of gold,
We'll walk in the light and will never grow old. [Chorus]

4. O hasten, unsaved ones, to seek his dear face,
Believe in his promise and trust his free grace;
For soon time shall end in the great judgment day
And Jesus will bear all his chosen away. [Chorus]

5. Forever to dwell in fair Eden restored,
With the immortal host and Jesus our Lord;
To sing the new song with the angels so fair,
O, Hope of the Ages! we long to be there. [Chorus]
