Though the Christian’s life is bid,
Till the Lord himself appears,
Yet the promises forbid
All distressing doubt and fears.
Though concealed from carnal eyes,
‘Tis a treasure lodged secure;
Christ descending from the skies,
Shall our final bliss ensure.
Let our drooping hearts revive,
Let us sing a Saviour’s love:
In his presence we shall live,
Now and in the realms above.
Let the world forget his praise,
And the dead refuse to sing,
We to Christ devote our days,
We to him our offerings bring.
