O Lord, What Joy And Glad Surprise

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

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed, in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and *we* shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51,52

  1. 1 Thessalonians 4:17, 1 Corinthians 13:12O Lord, what joy and glad surprise

    1 Corinthians 15:52, 1 Corinthians 13:12Shall fill our hearts when we arise

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, 1 Corinthians 13:12To meet Thee in the air!

    1 John 3:2,3, 1 Corinthians 13:12To see Thy face, to hear Thy voice,

    1 Peter 4:13, Revelation 1:5And in Thy perfect love rejoice,

    1 Peter 4:13, Romans 8:17Whose glory we shall share.

  2. 1 Corinthians 13:12, Romans 8:25No more deferred our hope shall be,

    1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 John 3:2No longer through a glass we'll see,

    1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 John 3:2But clearly, face to face.

    John 14:3, Revelation 3:12Then shall we dwell with Thee above,

    1 Peter 1:8, 1 John 4:19Whom absent we have learned to love -

    Revelation 3:21, 1 Timothy 1:14Blest trophies of Thy grace.

  3. 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Isaiah 30:18While waiting for Thee, Saviour, here,

    John 14:1-3, John 14:23O may Thy word our spirits cheer -

    Revelation 22:20, Matthew 24:27I quickly come again!

    2 Timothy 4:8, Isaiah 30:18O may our hearts expect that day,

    Revelation 22:20And to Thy word responsive say:

    Revelation 22:20Come, Jesus, Lord, Amen!
