When will the happy moment come
by William Gadsby·1814·Meter 8.8.6
Based on Rev 19:5
When will the happy moment come
That I shall meet my Lord at home,
And all his glory view?
Where sin no more shall vex my soul,
Nor Satan any more control,
Nor guilt shall me pursue?
Christ loved, and chose, and ransomed me,
From sin and Satan set me free,
And washed me in his blood;
He clothed me well from top to toe,
Adorned me with his glory too,
And brought me home to God.
When such a guilty wretch as I,
Deserving nought but misery,
Shall in full glory be,
With all the blood-bought throng above,
I'll sing the riches of thy love,
Through vast eternity.
I'll tell the Father and the Son,
And the blest Spirit, Three-in-One,
I'm saved by grace divine;
And, with a strong, immortal voice,
In this one God will I rejoice,
Nor ever more repine.
