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.
