Till He Come! Oh, Let The Words Hymn Lyrics

1

” Till He come ! ” Oh, let the words

Linger on the trembling chords ;

Let the ” little while ” between

In their golden light be seen :

Let us think how heaven and home

Lie beyond that ” Till He come ! ”

2

When the weary ones we love

Enter on their rest above——-

Seems the earth so poor and vast ?—-

All our life-joy overcast ?

Hush ! be every murmur dumb :

It is only ” Till He come ! ”

3

Clouds and conflicts round us press ;

Would we have one sorrow less ?

All the sharpness of the cross,

All that tells the world is loss—–

Death, and darkness, and the tomb——

Only whisper ” Till He come ! ”

4

See, the feast of love is spread,

Drink the wine and break the bread—–

Sweet memorials—- till the Lord

Call us round His heavenly board ;

Some from earth, from glory some,

Severed only ” Till He come !
