7. Salvation’s Tidal Wave

1 A tidal wave is drawing near, is coming sure and soon,
Salvation full and free shall over all the world be known;
The gospel preached in every clime and land beneath the sun,
‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

Refrain:
‘Tis coming by and by, ‘tis coming by and by,
The dawning of a better day lights up the eastern sky;
The jubilee of holiness on rapid wings draws nigh,
‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

2 A tidal wave of gospel power by prophets long foretold,
When God his Spirit shall outpour upon the young and old;
Your daughters and your sons shall prophesy with courage bold,
‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by. [Refrain]

3 Be glad, ye children of our God, rejoice in Christ your King,
Into the storehouse of the Lord your tithes and off’rings bring;
‘Tis near at hand, that glorious day, lift up your voice and sing,
‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by. [Refrain]
