"Till He come!" O let the words

Edward Henry Bickersteth (1861)

4 Verses Second Coming Heavenly Hope Fellowship & Communion

Verse 1

" Till He come!" O let the words Linger on the trembling chords; Let the "little while" between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how heaven and home Lie beyond that " Till He come!"

Verse 2

When the weary ones we love Enter on their rest above, When their words of love and cheer Fall no longer on our ear, Hush! be every murmur dumb, It is only " Till He come!"

Verse 3

Clouds and darkness round us press; Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is loss, Death, and darkness, and the tomb, Pain us only " Till He come!"

Verse 4

Sweet the feast of love divine, Broken bread and outpoured wine; Sweet memorials, till the Lord Call us round His heavenly board, Some from earth, from glory some, Severed only " Till He come!"
