It may be at morn when the day is awaking,
或許在清晨，或在夢醒的黎明，
When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking,
長夜初過盡，日光正驅散黑影；
That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory,
那時主耶穌滿披榮耀再降臨，
To receive from the world His own.
當主提接祂的子民。

O Lord Jesus, how long, how long
哦主，還需多久！多長！
Ere we shout the glad song, Christ returneth! Hallelujah!
我們纔能高唱：基督再臨！
Hallelujah! Amen,
阿利路亞！阿利路亞！
Hallelujah! Amen.
阿們！阿利路亞！阿們！

It may be at midday, it may be at twilight,
或許在正午，或在薄暮的黃昏，
It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight
也許在午夜，黑暗深沉的時辰；
Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory,
主榮耀光芒，劃破最深的黑蔭，
When Jesus receives His own.
當主提接祂的子民。

While hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending,
和散那聲高，當主自高天降臨，
With glorified saints and the angels attending,
得榮眾聖徒，與天使一起歡吟；
With grace on His brow, like a halo of glory,
主榮面射出，無限恩典的光明，
Will Jesus receive His own.
當主提接祂的子民。

O joy! O delight! should we go without dying,
何等大欣喜，倘若不死即被提！
No sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying,
再沒有疾病、憂傷、痛苦和哭泣；
Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory,
與主永同在，共用榮耀于天庭，
When Jesus receives His own.
當主提接祂的子民。
