When the Sav­ior went to Hea­ven,
To His home on high,
Left the pro­mise to His child­ren,
To re­turn by and by;
His dis­ci­ples thro’ the ag­es
Have be­lieved that word;
They have thought up­on His pro­mise
And ex­pect their Lord.

Refrain

He is com­ing, Christ is com­ing,
He is com­ing from on high (hal­le­lu­jah!)
He is com­ing, sur­ely com­ing,
And the day is draw­ing nigh.

Jesus left this earth for Hea­ven,
That bright home ab­ove,
To the faith­ful ones is giv­en
A sweet home filled with love;
Let us watch and wait with pa­tience
That de­light­ful hour,
When our Lord will come from glo­ry
In His migh­ty pow­er.

Refrain

When He com­eth, all the faith­ful
Will His face be­hold,
And the re­sur­rect­ion trum­pet
Will the glad news un­fold;
All the right­eous ones will hear Him,
From their graves arise,
And be car­ried home to Hea­ven,
Far be­yond the skies.
