He's Coming Back!

Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #478 (1977) First Line: Hear, O hear the joyful bells a-ringing! Refrain First Line: Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Lyrics: 1 Hear, O hear the joyful bells a-ringing! They tell us that this celebrates the day when Christ was born; When He came His great salvation bringing, Yet but a babe in Bethlehem that happy natal morn. Refrain: Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Ring it out o'er valley hill and plain! Spread the news: He's coming back again! O hallelujah! Praise His name! He' coming back again! 2 Peal, ye bells of glorious revelations, Sound out the tidings full and clear o'er wooded land and main; Rouse, O rouse the slumb'ring, sinful nations, Awake them to the happy hope that Christ shall come again. [Refrain] 3 Hear, O hear the Christmas bells a-ringing; O shall the echo call the mem'ry back to Calvary? Shall they find us songs of glory singing, Or rolling in the muddy tide of self-debauchery? [Refrain] 4 Hear, O hear the echo of the morning: "Behold He comes,"the angels shout; ye faithful join the cry; Christ the Lord, God's glory Him adorning, Is coming to redeem His saints, behold Him, ev'ry eye. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Second Coming Scripture: James 5:8 Languages: English Tune Title: A CHRISTMAS MELODY

After asking God for a deeper experience of grace and fasting and praying for three days, Jones experienced a closeness with God, and in 1895, along with other Baptist holiness adherents, who taught that a second work of grace can cleanse the Christian of original sin. They started a holiness movement in the Baptist church, and he began teaching holiness in his congregation, Mount Helm Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. He faced much opposition from some members of his congregation and other Baptist churches. Eventually the church voted to remove "Baptist" and change it to "Church of Christ." For several years, Jones led a non-denominational holiness movement. In 1899 he began to write songs for his church. Most of his hymns were inspired by a scripture passage.
