To receive from the world “His own.”

It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight
G7   C              G               C
Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory,

When Jesus receives “His own.”

With glorified saints and the angels attending,

No sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying.
