1.
Our mighty Messiah will surely come,
And all our sorrows will completely end.
Let us sing Hallelujah and praise His matchless name,
With hearts full of joy—
With hearts full of joy!

2.
I wait with hope, looking forward to that wonderful day
When sickness, sorrow, grief, and every burden
Will all come to an end.
I wait with eager hope.

3.
As each day passes by,
The day of the Lord’s coming
Draws closer and closer.

4.
When I think about the days
When the great King will reign,
I consider this life in the wilderness
To be nothing compared with what is to come.

5.
Without being troubled by the worries of this world,
I live with hope and joy,
My heart overflowing with expectation.

6.
Our beloved Lord, who promised, “I will come soon,”
Will come riding on the clouds,
Surrounded by multitudes of angels.

7.
When I hear the mighty shout,
The sound of the trumpet, and the voice of the angels,
In an instant,
I too will be caught up and fly away.
