They are Coming

Author: Lizzie Edwards Hymnal: On Joyful Wing #12 (1886) First Line: See the faithful now returning Refrain First Line: They are coming, they are coming Lyrics: 1 See the faithful now returning From the battle and the strife, They have held their post with valor, And have reached the gate of life; There amid the shout of angels, While they enter one by one, Robe and crown, and palm of triumph, Tell of duties nobly done. Refrain: They are coming, they are coming To the kingdom and the mansions of the blest; They are coming, they are coming, Hallelujah! they are coming home to rest. 2 See the reapers in the distance From the summer harvest plain, To the feet of their Redeemer Bearing sheaves of golden grain; And amid the joyful welcome, With the ransomed host they sing, Hallelujah! hallelujah! Till the hallowed arches ring. [Refrain] 3 Then the grand old ship of Zion Drops her anchor in the bay, Where her thousands and her millions She has carried many a day; And the armies of the faithful, And the reapers as they come, To the mariners returning Shout again the welcome home. [Refrain] 4 Oh, the meeting with the loved ones That were parted many years! Oh, the bright, celestial dawning That shall never set in tears! O, to join that countless number In a land of fadeless flowers, Who would mind the cares and heart-aches In this fleeting world of ours? [Refrain] Tune Title: [See the faithful now returning]
