207. It May Be at Morn

Ab                 Db   Ab           Eb
It may be at morn, when the day is a-waking,

Eb   Ab       Eb7     Fm7          Bb7       Eb
When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking,

Eb7  Ab Db  Eb7  Ab          Eb7         Ab
That Je-sus will come in the fullness of glory

Ab    Db             Ab    Eb7 Ab
To re-ceive from the world His own.

Ab        Eb7  Ab  Db
O Lord Je-sus, how long, how long

             Eb7 Db   Ab
Ere we shout the glad song?

Eb7       Ab       Eb7   Ab
Christ re-turneth, Halle-lujah!

Eb7   Ab     Eb7 Ab        Eb7      Ab
Halle-lujah! A- men, Halle-lujah! A-men.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
It may be at morn, when the day is awaking,
When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking
That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory
To receive from the world His own.

[Refrain]
O Lord Jesus, how long, how long
Ere we shout the glad song?
Christ returneth, Hallelujah! 
Hallelujah! Amen,
Hallelujah! Amen.

[Verse 2]
It may be at midday, it may be at twilight,
It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight
Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory,
When Jesus receives His own.

[Verse 3]
O joy! O delight! should we go without dying,
No sickness, no sadness, no dread, and no crying,
Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory,
When Jesus receives His own.
