- 1When the Savior comes for His chosen ones,We’ll be like Him, We’ll be like Him;(We’ll be like our King when He comes again;)When the bright day breaks and the dead awakes;We’ll be like Him when He comes. (when He comes,)We’ll be like Him, sing the glad refrain;(We’ll be like our King,)We’ll be like Him (our King) when He comes again;Blessed tho’t to me that His face I’ll see,And be like Him when He comes. (when He comes.)
- 2Let the message ring over hill and plain,We’ll be like Him, We’ll be like Him;(We’ll be like our King when He comes again;)Send it far and wide on the gospel tide;We’ll be like Him when He comes. (when He comes,)We’ll be like Him, sing the glad refrain;(We’ll be like our King,)We’ll be like Him (our King) when He comes again;Blessed tho’t to me that His face I’ll see,And be like Him when He comes. (when He comes.)
- 3He’s the One we love, He’s the One we prove,We’ll be like Him, We’ll be like Him;(We’ll be like our King when He comes again;)He’s the One who cheers thru the weary years;We’ll be like Him when He comes. (when He comes,)We’ll be like Him, sing the glad refrain;(We’ll be like our King,)We’ll be like Him (our King) when He comes again;Blessed tho’t to me that His face I’ll see,And be like Him when He comes. (when He comes.)
- 4Tho’ He tarry long, this will be our song,We’ll be like Him, We’ll be like Him;(We’ll be like our King when He comes again;)Tho’ the path be dim we will cling to Him;We’ll be like Him when He comes. (when He comes,)We’ll be like Him, sing the glad refrain;(We’ll be like our King,)We’ll be like Him (our King) when He comes again;Blessed tho’t to me that His face I’ll see,And be like Him when He comes. (when He comes.)
