Jesus is coming with joy to the sky,
Then all who love Him shall heavenward fly,
Upward shall fly to the Lord in the air,
And all together with Jesus be there,
Far from the earth and from sorrow and care,
O, happy day! happy day!
Parents and children again then shall meet,
Sisters and brothers—O, it will be sweet!
We missed them on earth, to Jesus they went;
But them we still love, their absence lament;
When all meet again, we shall be content,
O, happy day! happy day!
Are we all ready, should Jesus now call?
Would each one answer, the great and the small?
We long to rise up and with Thee to be,
We long our dear Saviour, Jesus to see.”
Children, would you, then sing sweetly with me?
O, happy day! happy day!
