Peace When Jesus Comes
In righteousness the Lord will come,
Some blessed day and take me home.
To earth below I'll say farewell,
With Him forevermore to dwell.
As I pursue the narrow way,
I look for that eternal day,
When Christ shall come our King to be
Oh, what a joy His face to see!
I feel that Christ shall soon return;
And for that blessed time I yearn,
When Christ shall cause all strife to cease,
And reign in righteousness and peace.
"Peace" cries the world of men today,
But Christ alone can peace convey.
And strife and sin shall ever reign,
Till Christ the Lord shall come again.
