O long­ing soul, be not dis­mayed,
Thou shalt see Je­sus from on high;
E’en tho’ His com­ing be de­layed,
He’s sure­ly com­ing by and by.

Refrain

We know He’s com­ing by and by;
We know He’s com­ing by and by;
In the clouds of His love,
He is com­ing from above,
We know He’s com­ing by and by.

The cloud that hides the Sav­ior’s face,
And wraps the earth in dark­est night,
Shall roll away, and in its place
Shall dawn a glo­ri­ous morn­ing light.

Refrain

He’ll bring our loved ones back when He
Shall in His glo­ry come again;
We’ll be with them eter­nal­ly,
And with our Sav­ior too shall reign.

Refrain

Then watch and wait till He shall come,
For our re­demp­tion then shall be;
Then He’ll re­ceive us in that home,
That home that lasts eter­nal­ly.
