“When He Comes Again,” Friend, Nov. 2013, 36–37 I Can Play It! When He Comes Again (Simplified) Words and music by Mirla Greenwood Thayne Reverently 96–108 Imagemusic, When He Comes Again Illustration by Harry Anderson I wonder, when He comes again, Will herald angels sing? Will earth be white with drifted snow, Or will the world know spring? I wonder if one star will shine Far brighter than the rest; Will daylight stay the whole night through? Will songbirds leave their nests? I’m sure He’ll call His little ones Together ’round His knee, Because He said in days gone by, “Suffer them to come to me.” I wonder, when He comes again, Will I be ready there To look upon His loving face And join with Him in prayer? Each day I’ll try to do His will And let my light so shine That others seeing me may seek For greater light divine. Then, when that blessed day is here, He’ll love me and He’ll say, “You’ve served me well, my little child; Come unto my arms to stay.” © 1952 by Mirla Greenwood Thayne.
