With all our tears, away.

2 Strangers on earth, we wait for thee;

O leave the Father’s throne;

Come with a shout of victory, Lord,

And claim us as thine own.

3 O bid the bright archangel now

The trump of God prepare,

To call thy saints—the quick, the dead,

To meet thee in the air.

4 No resting-place we seek on earth,
