Scripture Verse

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Matthew 24:32–33

Lyrics

In the great tri­um­phant morning,
When we hear the Bride­groom cry,
And the dead in Christ shall rise,
We’ll be changed to life im­mor­tal,
In the twink­ling of an eye,
And meet Je­sus in the skies.

Refrain

We shall all rise to meet Him,
We shall all rise to greet Him,
In the morn­ing when
The dead in Christ shall rise
We shall all rise to meet Him,
We shall all rise to greet Him,
And shall have
The mar­riage sup­per in the skies.

In the great tri­um­phant morn­ing,
What a hap­py time ’twill be,
When the dead in Christ shall rise,
When the Lord des­cends in glo­ry,
Sets His wait­ing child­ren free,
And we meet Him in the skies.

Refrain

In the great tri­um­phant morn­ing,
When the har­vest is com­plete,
And the dead in Christ shall rise,
We’ll be crowned with life im­mor­tal,
Christ and all the loved ones meet,
In the rap­ture in the skies.

Refrain

In the great tri­um­phant morn­ing,
All the king­dom we’ll pos­sess,
Then the dead in Christ shall rise,
Reign as kings and priests eter­nal,
Under Christ for­ev­er blest,
After meet­ing in the skies.
