Our hope will be complete
Our longings finally rest
As we fall at His feet
When Jesus comes to reign
Restoring everything
Our tears will turn to tides
Of praises to our King

When Christ our life appears

From our weary hearts

When we'll see

When Christ our life appears
These trials that weighed us down
Will fade and fall away as
He receives our crowns
And death will disappear
Its rule and reign destroyed
Beneath the weight of glory
And eternal joy

We're longing for that day
When we'll see

Refrain

Christ our Savior
We'll behold the glory
Of our King forever
Christ our Savior
Faith will turn to sight
When Christ our life appears
