1. We love Thy coming, Lord!
  We know not when 'twill be,
  But turn from all distracting things
  Thine own dear face to see.
2. We serve the living God
  And wait His Son to see;
  For this we need faith, love, and hope,
  Increasing constantly.
3. In Thy dear presence, Lord,
  We hope we all may be
  A crown of glory and a joy
  To those we then shall see.
4. We love Thy coming, Lord;
  The time is very nigh.
  Our hearts unblameable must be
  To greet Thee from on high.
5. The Lord Himself shall come
  With loud assembling word,
  And all the saints in Christ shall be
  Forever with the Lord.
6. We're children of the day,
  We're children of the light;
  That day should never come to us
  As does a thief at night.
7. Lord, wholly sanctify
  And blameless let us be
  In spirit, soul, and body too
  For that blest day with Thee.
