168. When Jesus Comes Back Again

1. A time is appearing, we know not the day,
When Jesus is coming in bright array;
No more we shall suffer from sorrow and pain,
When Jesus shall come back to the earth again.

Refrain:
When Jesus comes back again,
When Jesus comes back to the earth again;
If free from all sin you in heaven shall reign,
When Jesus shall come back to the earth again.

2 O how will you meet Him when He shall appear?
He surely is coming, the time is near;
Pray now for His mercy, 'twill then be in vain,
When Jesus shall come back to the earth again. [Refrain]

3 If you would live always in mansions above,
Accept His salvation, the gift of love;
If cleansed from all sin you in heaven shall reign,
When Jesus shall come back to the earth again. [Refrain]
