The Son of God has come,-
"Appeared" in flesh to die,
To put away our sin,
And bring the sinner nigh :
We trust in Him who came from God,
And shed for us His precious blood.

He's gone within the veil;
"Appears" before God's face;
His pleadings now prevail
For all who bow to grace:
Their cause is with the great High Priest,
Who knows each one, cares for the least.

And soon He'll come again,
"Appear" His own to save;
And they with Him will reign,
And triumph o'er the grave:
Oh, blessed day when He shall come,
To take His blood-bought people home!

We gaze upon His cross,
We know He's on the throne,
We joy in all He is,
And long to see that One;
Oh, happy they whose hearts thus burn,
And hail with joy His sure return!

May we express Him here,
While He remains away!
Soon, soon, will He "appear,"
And bring His longed-for day:
Oh, blessed One, we wait for Thee,
Thy coming sets us fully free!
