O Bright And Blessèd Hope!

Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as *he* is pure. 1 John 3:2,3

Then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17

  1. Titus 2:13, 1 Peter 1:13O bright and blessèd hope!

    Philippians 3:20, Acts 1:7When shall it be

    1 John 3:2,3, Revelation 22:4That we His face, long loved,

    1 John 3:2,3, Revelation 22:4Revealed shall see?

  2. 2 Samuel 23:4, Revelation 22:4O when, without a cloud,

    1 John 3:2,3, Revelation 22:4His features trace,

    1 Thessalonians 5:23,24, 2 Timothy 2:13Whose faithful love so long

    1 Thessalonians 5:28, 2 Corinthians 12:9We've known in grace;

  4. Luke 24:30,31, 2 Timothy 1:12O Jesus! not unknown,

    1 Timothy 1:14, Colossians 2:10Thy love shall fill

    Philippians 4:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:17For ever near;

  6. 2 Corinthians 3:18, Revelation 22:4To gaze upon Thyself

    Revelation 1:5, 2 Timothy 2:13So faithful known,

    Revelation 2:17, John 14:23Long proved in secret help

    Revelation 2:17, John 14:21With Thee alone;

  7. Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 5:29To see that love, content,

    Ephesians 5:29, Revelation 1:5On us flow forth,

    Ephesians 5:25, Isaiah 53:11For ever Thy delight,

    Luke 15:22, Romans 13:14Clothed in Thy worth!

  8. Ephesians 5:25, Ephesians 1:22,23Nor what is next Thy heart

    2 Timothy 2:8, Ephesians 1:22,23Can we forget;

    Ephesians 2:5-7, 1 Thessalonians 4:17Thy saints, O Lord, with Thee

    Ephesians 2:5-7, 1 Thessalonians 4:17In glory met.

  9. Ephesians 5:26,27, Revelation 19:8Perfect in comeliness

    Ephesians 5:26,27, Revelation 19:8Before Thy face,

    Ephesians 2:7, Revelation 21:2Th' eternal witness, all,

    Ephesians 2:7, 2 Corinthians 8:9Of Thine own grace;

    Revelation 5:9, Psalms 150:1-6Of endless praise,

    2 Chronicles 5:13, Revelation 19:6With one harmonious voice,

    Ephesians 5:19,20, Revelation 19:7In joy they'll raise!
