Quickly Coming

Soon skies will rend and Christ des­cend

And ev­ery eye behold Him

While an­gels bright in clouds of light

In ma­jes­ty en­fold Him;

His trum­pet sound will soon re­sound

Thro’ earth and Heav­en ring­ing

His dead will wake

His bride He’ll take

To mar­riage sup­per bring­ing.

Jesus

Lamb for sin­ners slain

Oh how sweet the glad re­frain

Coming soon as king to reign

Quickly come

Lord Je­sus!

We then shall rise

and in the skies

With heav’n­ly bliss and glo­ry

The graves shall quake

and cof­fins break

And saints arise to meet Him;

Behold His face

oh won­drous grace!

And sing the old

old sto­ry.

When by and by the sods will fly

As we as­cend to greet Him.

And when at last the rap­ture past

And mar­riage feast is end­ed

Then wars will cease and per­fect peace

O’er all the world pre­vail­ing

The brid­al train re­turns again

By heav’n­ly hosts de­fend­ed;

And right­eous­ness the world shall bless

With not one pro­mise fail­ing.

Then Christ will reign and His do­main

From land to sea be giv­en

Oh

now awake! your sins for­sake

Repent

’tis now or nev­er!

His king­dom come

and will be done

On earth as ’tis in Heav­en.

Oh trust His grace

the cross em­brace

Or you are lost for­ev­er.

If you would share His king­dom fair

Be rea­dy

now He calls you

Too late

too late

if long you wait

His com­ing is im­pend­ing

Oh to Him fly

while He is nigh

Before His wrath be­falls you;

Like light­ning flash

and thun­der crash

He soon will be des­cend­ing.
