He comes, he comes, to call The nations to his bar, And raise to glory all Who fit for glory are; Make ready for your full reward, Go forth with joy to meet your Lord.

Go, meet him in the sky, Your everlasting Friend; Your Head to glorify, With all his saints ascend: Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace To see, without a vail, his face!
