D                A
The bride of Christ awaits
  D                   A
Fearless and faithfully
D               A
  His infinite mercy
D               A
  His infinite mercy

[Verse 1]
   C               Bb            A
Behold the man of sorrows, the prince of peace
   C             Bb       A
Behold Almighty God, the king of kings

[Chorus 2]
   D             A            D        A
Behold the mystery, we shall not all sleep
             F#m            C#m       F#m
But we shall all be changed     in a moment
          D            A              D             A
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead shall be raised
      F#m          C#m            F#m
incorruptible and we   shall be changed

[Bridge]
A
  For this perishable nature
G
  must put on the imperishable
D
  And this mortal nature
F                   G
  must put on immortality

[Verse 2]
         Dm                    Bb
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
      C                  F
The dead in Christ will rise
     A           Dm
And we who are alive and remain
           Bb                          Gm
Shall be caught up with them in the clouds
                         A
To meet the Lord in the air

[Chorus 3]
     D               A           D            A
And we shall always be with the Lord, eternally
     D               A           D            A
And we shall always be with the Lord, eternally
     D               A           D            A
And we shall always be with the Lord, eternally
