When the Lord Shall Come for Me 515
Tune: Arranged by Thomas Jefferson Allen, 1909
Lyrics: Aldine Silliman Kieffer, 1880
Meter: 10s Half (10,10)
O the night of time shall soon pass away,
When the Lord shall come for me;
When the pilgrim's staff shall be laid aside,
When the Lord shall come for me;
Chorus:
When the Lord shall come for me,
And His nailed, pierced hands I see,
Will my soul be washed in His precious blood,
When the Lord shall come for me.
O the happy day that shall gild the hills,
When the Lord shall come for me;
O the happy hearts that shall welcome Him,
When the Lord shall come for me;
(Chorus)
What a joyful time when the earth shall gleam,
When the Lord shall come for me;
When the saints shall sing unto Christ, their King,
When the Lord shall come for me;
(Chorus)
To Prof. W. M. Cooper, life-long friend and co-laborer in sacred song to the composer, this is especially incribed.
