Jesus Is Coming with Joy to the Sky
"The Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout." - 1 Thess 4:16
VERSE 1
Jesus is coming with joy to the sky
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
Then all who love Him shall heaven-ward fly
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
Upward shall fly to the Lord in the air
Together with Jesus we all shall be there
Far from the earth, and from sorrow and care
Oh happy day! Oh happy day.
VERSE 2
Parents and children shall then again meet
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
Sisters and brothers, oh, it will be sweet
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
We miss'd them of earth, to Jeus they went
We love them as ever, their absence lament
Soon we shall meet them, and then be content
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
VERSE 3
Are we all ready, should Jesus now call
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
Would each one answer, the great and the small
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
We long to rise up and with Thee to be
Thy face, blessed Jesus, our Saviour to see
Would you then dear children sing sweetly with me
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
VERSE 4
Some will stay weeping unable to sing
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
Yet all may rejoice their glad praises bring
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
For Jesus still waits, He tarries that we
May trust in His name, and thus ready may be
When, brightly beaming, His glory we see
Oh happy day! Oh happy day
