I'll Ride On the Clouds With My Lord

When I watch the clouds that rise, sweeping over the vaulted skies

Author: Raymond Browning (1928)
Tune: [When I watch the clouds that rise] (Pace)
Published in 7 hymnals


Representative Text

1 When I watch the clouds that rise, sweeping o'er the vaulted skies,
Then I think of that wonderful word,
Of His promise unto men that He's coming back again,
And I'll ride on the clouds with my Lord.

Refrain:
I'll ride on the clouds with my Lord,
I'll ride on the clouds with my Lord;
When He bids me arise,
And I start for the skies,
I'll ride on the clouds with my Lord.

2 When we tell the earth good-bye and shall rise up in the sky,
To meet Jesus whom we have adored;
How the chariots will run t'ward the bright unsetting sun,
When I ride on the clouds with my Lord. [Refrain]

3 We shall drink with Him the wine gathered from the Father's vine,
When we feast round that bountiful board;
And the saints will all be there, dressed in garments all so fair;
When I ride on the clouds with my Lord. [Refrain]

4 There we'll sing a glad new song with the happy blood-bo't throng,
On the gold harps we'll sound a new chord;
We'll forget all earthly tears in the bright eternal years,
When I ride on the clouds with my Lord. [Refrain]
