He Cometh!

Jesus is com­ing! go

her­ald the tid­ings

Far over the land and the sea;

Jesus is com­ing to ga­ther the ran­somed

Redeemed by His death on the tree.

Angels at­tend­ing

the heav­ens des­cend­ing—

All lang­uage our joy will trans­cend

When we shall see Him

the King in His beau­ty

Our bride­groom

Re­deem­er

and friend.

Jesus is com­ing

our Sav­ior and lov­er di­vine;

Soon in His glo­ry the ran­somed of ag­es will shine;

Ages on ag­es we’ll reign with our king on His throne;

Wonderful story! We’ll share in His glo­ry

Redeemed by His mer­cy di­vine.

Lift up your heads and re­joice

O ye right­eous

Your per­fect re­demp­tion is nigh;

Swiftly the dark­ness of mid­night ap­proach­es

He com­eth shall sound from the sky.

Long has the bat­tle been waged against ev­il

By suf­fer­ing saints here be­low.

Jesus is com­ing to ban­ish our sor­row

And lead us where tears nev­er flow.

Come

dear Lord Je­sus

Thy pro­mise ful­fill­ing;

Come quick­ly! our souls cry to Thee:

Long has the world been en­thralled by the tempt­er

The curse is on land and on sea.

Yet Thou shalt tri­umph

the na­tions sub­du­ing

The truth of the Word can­not fail;

God’s won­drous glo­ry

like ocean’s deep bil­lows

To earth’s far­thest bounds shall pre­vail.
