They Come

Verse 1

They come from the East and West, They come from the lands afar, To feast with the King, to dine as His guest; How blessed these pilgrims are! Beholding His hallow’d face A glow with a light divine; Blest partakers of His grace, As gems in His crown to shine.

Chorus

Since Jesus has set me free, I’m happy as heart can be; No longer I bear the burden of care, His yoke is so sweet to me. My soul was as black as night, But darkness as taken flight; Now I shout the victory, For Jesus has set me free.

Verse 2

I look on the great white throne, Before it the ransom’d stand; No longer are tears, no sorrow is known Nor death in that goodly land. My Savior has gone before, Preparing the way for me; Soon we’ll meet to part no more Thru time of eternity.

Verse 3

The gates of that holy place Stand open by night and day; O look to the Lord who “giveth more grace,” Whose love has prepar’d the way. A home in those mansions fair His hand hath reserv’d for all, For the wedding feast prepare, Obeying the gracious call.
