Lyrics

Though we may not know the mo­ment
When our bless­èd Lord shall come
To re­ceive us to man­sions ov­er there,
Yet we know ’twill not be long be­fore
He takes His loved ones home,
And we’re caught up to meet Him in the air.

Refrain

We’ll be caught up to meet Him in the air,
We’ll be caught up His bles­sed­ness to share;
Very soon He will come
To take His peo­ple home
Caught up to meet Him in the air.

There are times when we are called to wade
Through wa­ters deep and wide,
And the sor­rows of Christ Him­self to share;
We re­mem­ber He has pro­mised
To be ev­er at our side,
Till we’re caught up to meet Him in the air.

Refrain

Then eter­nal years in glo­ry
With our Sav­ior we will spend;
O we long for that morn­ing bright and fair!
When the days of our so­journ­ing
And our pilg­rim­age shall end,
We’ll be caught up to meet Him in the air.
