Poems - Rapture

Rapture

Verse 1
There’s a whisper the watchers can hear,
Christ is coming, it may be today;
And our hearts have shut out every fear
As we sing on the brightening way.

Chorus
Come, O Lord, quickly come,
Come and catch us away to our Home;
Come, O Lord, quickly come
Come and catch us away to our home.

Verse 2 From each sunrise to sunset, dear Lord,
We are waiting and watching for Thee,
And our hearts are aglow with Thy word,
“I am coming, and coming for thee.”

Verse 3
As we wait for Thy coming, O Lord
Fill our hands with glad service for Thee;
May the power of Thy life-giving Word
Flow through us till Thy glory we see.
