We…will be caught up…to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4:17

Words & Music: James H. Stanley, Beautiful Showers of Praise (Saltillo, Mississippi: Stanley-Gardner, 1918), number 17 (🔊 pdf nwc).
When the Lord shall come in glory,
And shall call His ransomed home,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
When we meet our blessèd Savior
And our loved ones who have gone,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
Refrain
There’ll be shouting in the air
When the Savior shall appear;
What rejoicing there will be when Jesus comes;
When the dead in Christ arise,
And they see that Heaven’s gained,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
What a day of great rejoicing
When the trumpet loud shall sound,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
It will wake the sleeping nations
To the earth’s remotest bound,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
Refrain
What rejoicing of the faithful,
When they hear the glad acclaim,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
What a welcome for the Savior,
When He comes to earth again,
There’ll be shouting in the air.
Refrain
