224. They are Coming

1 They are coming, they are coming,
The way the Fathers trod,
From battle and the tempest
To glory and to God;
They are coming, they are coming,
Their leader is the Lord,
The soldiers of salvation,
With helmet, shield, and sword.

Refrain:
Coming! coming! coming!
From the east and from the west,
The host of God advancing,
To victory and rest;
Coming! coming! coming!
From the east and from the west,
The hosts of God advancing,
To victory and rest.

2 They are coming, they are coming,
From ev’ry clime and land,
From camps upon the mountain,
And ships along the sand;
They are coming, they are coming,
The rich, the poor, the great,
The cross is on their banner,
They march to heaven’s gate. [Refrain]

3 They are coming, they are coming,
‘Till all are gathered in,
Forgotten ev’ry sorrow,
Forgiven ev’ry sin
They are coming, they are coming,
Say, comrades in the throng,
We’ll wave the palms of vict’ry,
And sing the victor’s song. [Refrain]
