Lyrics

Jesus my Sav­ior, reign­ing in glo­ry,
Bids me to watch, to wait and to pray;
For He is com­ing, won­der­ful sto­ry,
Coming from Hea­ven some hap­py day.

Refrain

I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,
And in His glo­ry I shall share;
I shall be like Him, won­drous­ly like Him,
Glorious im­age I shall bear.

Jesus is com­ing; hail the glad morn­ing,
Coming to take the faith­ful ones home;
And I shall see Him, in His adorn­ing,
I shall be like Him when He comes.

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing, soon I shall see Him,
Soon I shall hear the glo­ri­ous word,
Thou hast been faith­ful, good and true ser­vant,
Enter ye in­to the joy of thy Lord.
