Text: | Christ Is Coming |
Author: | Rev. Henry Ostrom, D.D. |
Tune: | [Heirs of victory we are] |
Composer: | F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy |
1 Heirs of victory are we
Thro’ the Christ of Calvary;
Storms may beat and foes assail,
But His kingdom cannot fail.
Refrain:
Christ is coming, shout your praise,
Lo! the dawn of better days;
Christ is coming from on high,
Victory is very nigh,
Christ is coming from on high,
Victory is very nigh.
2 He who came will come again,
Raise your hopes, O sons of men;
We His kingdom’s dawn have seen,
What tho’ clouds may intervene. [Refrain]
3 His appearing draweth nigh,
Cease your doubtings, hush the sigh;
Our inheritance is sure,
Christ hath made His word secure. [Refrain]
4 Lo! He cometh, and shall reign,
We have not believed in vain;
In our hearts who speaks release
Brings from heav’n His reign of peace. [Refrain]
