15964. Coming Again

1 Jesus, my Savior, is coming again,
Sound out the tidings o’er earth and main;
Coming to gather His people and reign,
Coming to earth again.

Refrain:
Coming again, coming again,
Jesus is coming, prolong the strain;
Coming again, coming again,
Coming on earth to reign.

2 Jesus is coming, oh, wonderful word,
Sweeter than any on earth I’ve heard,
He whom my soul over all hath preferred,
Coming to earth again. [Refrain]

3 Oh, can it be He is coming ere long,
He whom I’m trusting with faith so strong,
He who alone is the theme of my song,
Coming to earth again? [Refrain]

4 Why should the tidings bring gladness to me?
Surely mine eyes shall His beauty see;
And in His presence I ever shall be,
When He shall come again. [Refrain]

5 Thought of His coming my soul doth elate,
As in the gloaming I watch and wait;
Longing each day for the glorified state;
When He shall come again. [Refrain]

6 When He shall come all my grief shall be o’er;
Friends I shall meet to forget no more,
Whom death removed in the dark days of yore,
Till He shall come again. [Refrain]
