He’s Coming Once Again

He’s com­ing once again

To set His peo­ple free;

That where He is

in glo­ry bright

His saints may al­so be.

Then lift the droop­ing head

Look up

re­joice and sing;

He comes

in ma­jes­ty sub­lime

Salvation’s glo­ri­ous king!

The earth shall quake with fear

The heav’ns shall flee away;

And where shall guil­ty man ap­pear

In that tre­men­dous day?

No re­fuge then is nigh

No shel­ter from the blast;

The night of ven­geance veils the sky

When mer­cy’s day is past.

His eyes of liv­ing flame

The wick­ed shall de­vour;

No tongue will light­ly speak the name

Of Je­sus in that hour.

No scorn

no words of hate

For His meek fol­low­ers then;

But pray­ers and tears that come too late

Will mark earth’s migh­ty men.
