The Message of His Coming

We’re looking for His com­ing

In the clouds of heav­en

Coming back to earth to catch away His own;

Then may we all be rea­dy

When mid­night cry is giv­en

To go and reign with Christ on His throne.

Gladly may we her­ald the mes­sage

Of His bless­èd ap­pear­ing

Soon He’s com­ing in glo­ry

tell to one and all;

Then awake

ye saints of the Lord

Why slum­ber when the end is near­ing

But get rea­dy for the fi­nal call.

We’re long­ing for the glo­ry

That awaits the faith­ful

Who shall ov­er­come

and ev­ery con­flict win;

Press ev­er brave­ly on­ward

The prize is life eter­nal

To all who win the fight ov­er sin.

We’re pray­ing for the ad­vent

Of our bless­èd Sav­ior

Who has pro­mised life to all who trust His grace;

His com­ing now is pend­ing

The mes­sage be­ing giv­en

And soon we’ll see our Lord face to face.

We see the signs ap­pear­ing

Of His bless­èd com­ing

Lo

be­hold the fig leaves now be­com­ing green;

The Gos­pel of His king­dom

Has gone to ev­ery na­tion;

That we are near the end can be seen.
