12462. Jesus Will Return

1 Have you known the wondrous story,
Jesus’ coming draweth near?
And the Lord of life and glory,
On the cloud will soon appear?

Refrain:
This Jesus, this same Jesus,
Who once died for men,
Will return again,
Forever and forever
As the King of kings
On this earth to reign.

2 For the signs are fast fulfilling
In the earth, the sea, the sky,
And with hope our hearts are thrilling—
Our redemption draweth nigh. [Refrain]

3 Then the loved whom death had parted,
On that resurrection day
Meet, no longer broken hearted—
Tears have all been wiped away. [Refrain]

4 O we long for Thine appearing!
How our hearts within us burn,
As we know the hour is nearing,
When the Savior will return. [Refrain]
