4. Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Fatherʼs breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
5. Name Him, brothers, name Him,
With love strong as death,
But with awe and wonder,
And with bated breath;
He is God the Saviour,
He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshipped,
Trusted, and adored.
6. In your hearts enthrone Him;
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown Him as your Captain
In temptationʼs hour;
Let His will enfold you
In its light and power.
7. Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With His Fatherʼs glory,
With His angel train;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon His brow,
And our hearts confess Him
King of glory now.

1 Thessalonians 4:18
[sing refrain after verses 2, 4 & 6]
For Heʼll come again
And every eye will see Him,
Everyone who pierced Him,
And all the tribes will mourn.
In that day rejoice,
Rise eagerly to greet Him,
There we all shall meet Him
And be ever with the Lord.
1. And there will be signs
In sun and moon and stars,
The roaring sea and waves,
Perplexity of nations;
58
They will see the Son of man
With the clouds of heaven
Coming in great glory,
Redemption in His hand.
2. When He is revealed
With mighty angels, flaming fire,
Inflicting vengeance of His wrath
On all who will not know Him,
Destruction is decreed
With overflowing righteousness,
Marvelled at in all believers,
Glorified in all His saints. [refrain]
3. You will hear of wars,
Earthquakes, famines, plagues,
Men will hate and kill,
Give you up to tribulation.
Do not be alarmed;
All these things will happen.
Preach the gospel of the kingdom,
Stand before the Son of man.
4. For He will destroy
All authority and rule—
Even death itself—
Underneath His feet.
Then will come the end,
When He will give the kingdom
Over to the Father,
And God be all in all. [refrain]
5. Let us all come in
By the new and living way,
With hearts sprinkled clean
By the blood of Jesus;
As the Day draws near
Let us hold fast our confession,
Encourage one another
To love and all good works.
6. So abide in Him
And purify yourselves
Just as He is pure,
And do not shrink in shame.
We are Godʼs children now,
And when He appears
We shall all be like Him,
For we shall see Him as He is. [refrain]
