The Savior is Coming

Representative Text

1 The morning is dawning, behold
Away rolls the shadows of night;
The Saviour is coming in purple and gold
His countenance beaming with light.

Chorus:
The Saviour is coming I know,
The Saviour is coming I know,
My lamp is aflame with the oil of His grace
And gladly to meet Him I go.

2 The signs of His coming are here
That all of the Prophets foretold;
We’ll soon rise to meet Him way up in the sky
And walk on the streets of pure gold. [Chorus]

3 My Lord is the joy of my soul;
I’m longing to see His sweet face
Who loved me and bought me with His precious blood
And saved me from sin by His grace. [Chorus]
