In the Twinkling of an Eye

In but the twinkling of an eye,
Our blessed Lord will come.
So quickly, human eyes won’t see
Just what our God has done.

But we, who know and love Him,
Will hear His voice at last;
A shout of triumph from our King,
And then, a trumpet blast.

And in a grand, majestic plan,
Those first who sleep will rise;
Then, we who still alive remain,
Will meet them in the skies.

And as we’re swept on Heaven’s wings
In our terrestrial ride,
We’ll know without a doubt we’ll be
Forever by His side.

No more will Satan hassle us;
No more will sin destroy.
No more will death its ugly sting
Be able to employ.

“Hosannah, praises to the King!”
With vict’ry we will cry,
For Jesus came and swept us up
In the twinkling of an eye.
