Heaven’s Jubilee

 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 


[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


I can’t wait!


Heaven’s Jubilee

__________________________


Some glad morning we shall see Jesus in the air,    —    Coming after you and me, joy is ours to share.    —    What rejoicing there will be, when the saints shall rise,    —    Headed for that jubilee, yonder in the skies.


CHORUS:

Oh what singing, Oh what shouting,    —    On that happy morning when we all shall rise.    —    Oh what glory, Hallelujah!  —      —    When we meet our blessed Savior in the skies.


Seems that now I almost see, all the sainted dead,    —    Rising for that jubilee, that is just ahead.    —    In the twinkling of an eye, changed with them to be,    —    All the living saints to fly, to that jubilee.


When with all that heavenly host, we begin to sing,    —    Singing in the Holy Ghost, how the heavens will ring.    —    Millions there will join the song, with them we shall be    —    Praising Christ through ages long, heaven's jubilee.
