Author: Laura C. Nourse Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: He is coming! swell the chorus! Refrain First Line: He is coming, coming, coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming! swell the chorus! Strike the loud exultant strain! He whose mercy hovers o’er us, Comes to earth her promised king. Earthly monarchs bow before Him, Saints and sinners bend the knee, Angels stooping low adore Him, Jesus comes and earth is free. Refrain: He is coming, coming, coming, See His chariot rends the sky. Hear His voice in notes of warning, He is coming by and by. 2 He is coming—pomp and glory— Angel hosts His regal train! Jesus born in Bethlehem lowly Comes His kingship to proclaim. Sinners quake with fear before Him, Satan’s minions all are fled; Death’s unnumbered hosts adore Him, Life and hope and joy are wed. [Refrain] 3 He is coming! Hail with gladness Every sign in earth and sky! Death is conquered with its sadness, Sin and sinners all must die. He is coming! Light and splendor, Perfect love and lasting peace; Bow, ye nations, low in wonder, Crown Him Prince, ye saved by grace. [Refrain] Used With Tune: PALAWAN Text Sources: Carols of Joy, by Frank M. Davis (Springfield, Ohio: J. L. Rust & Company, 1882)
