166. When Thou Comest

1 When Thou comest in Thy kingdom,
Jesus, Lord, remember me,
Thus the penitent thief entreated
Christ, the Lord, on Calvary.

Refrain:
Never in vain, never in vain,
Faith inspires this wonderful strain.
When Thou comest in the morning,
Jesus, Lord, remember me.

2 When Thou comest in Thy kingdom,
Sinful tho’ my heart may be,
Like the penitent thief, I pray Thee,
Jesus, Lord, remember me. [Refrain]

3 When Thou comest in Thy kingdom,
Mounting upward to the skies,
Like the penitent thief, I pray to
Be with Thee in Paradise. [Refrain]
