The Master Is Coming

Author: Peter P. Bilhorn Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14998 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: The Master is coming! He’s coming again! Lyrics: 1 The Master is coming! He’s coming again! He’s coming to free us from sorrow and pain! And all who in Him are asleep in the grave Shall wake at His voice, for He’s mighty to save. 2 The saints who are living, and those who arise, Shall mount up together to Him in the skies; Their bodies shall then incorruptible be, And fashioned like Him, and His glory shall see. 3 So, seeing we know that our Lord shall appear, To set up His kingdom of righteousness here, We watch for the dawn of that glorious day, And pray as He taught the disciples to pray: 4 "Our Father in Heaven, may Thy kingdom come: Thy will upon earth, as in Heaven be done; For Thine shall the power and glory be then, And Thine the dominion for ever. Amen." Languages: English Tune Title: RAWALPINDI
