1 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
We hear thy gentle voice;
We would be thine for ever,
And in thy love rejoice.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
we are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
We hear thy gentle voice.

2 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
To meet that happy band,
And sing with them forever,
And in thy presence stand.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
we are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
To meet that happy band.

3 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
Our Father's house we see--
A glorious mansion ever,
For children young as we.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
we are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
Our Father's house we see.

4 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
That happy home is ours;
If here we gain thy favor,
We'll reach those fragrant bowers.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
we are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
That happy home is ours.

5 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
To crown our Jesus King,
And then with angels ever,
His praises we will sing.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
we are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
To crown our Jesus King.
