Christ in Song 575

WHEN THE KING SHALL CLAIM HIS OWN

Studio

1"For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." - Matt. 16:27.
When the King shall claim his own, What a gathering that will be! When the ran-somed Christ shall crown In the land beyond the sea;
O the rap-ture of his people! Every joy unknown and blest, Won by far of turning flam-ed.

RefrainWe shall greet the loved and loving,
Just a-waits will then be given, When the King shall claim his own, Every heart a-che will be finished;
They will pass the pearly portals, When the King shall claim his own, When the King shall claim his own;
All the crown will their redemption, When the King shall claim his own.

2Long-er should that was the harvest, Sev-'ring each the precious wheat from the weeds, Then the saints shall bright appear;
At the judgment seat of Christ, When the King, the righteous Judge, shall sep-a-rate the chaff from those with blessed harvest.

3And to judge the world up-tight, Faith-ful and wise shall their treasure, All shall stand be-fore the throne;
Rich in faith and heir with Christ, Of all their due ma-nes-ty, Then is where a hope in Christ,
In the glad mil-len-nial years, They will share the bliss of heav-en, New-er more to toil, or mourn.
