Lyrics

Jesus the King is com­ing
Lo, in the east­ern sky,
Signs of ap­proach­ing glo­ry;
Surely re­demp­tion draw­eth nigh.

Refrain

Coming, com­ing,
Coming again for me;
Soon I shall see my Sav­ior,
Like Him I then shall be.

Jesus is quick­ly com­ing;
’Twill not be ve­ry long
Ere we shall hail our bride­groom
With all the bright, an­gel­ic throng.

Refrain

Then all who sleep in Je­sus,
Waking shall up­ward rise;
We who re­main, to­ge­ther
With them caught up to pa­ra­dise.

Refrain

O what a glo­ri­ous pros­pect!
O what a hope di­vine!
Thru the eter­nal ages
Jesus will be for­ev­er mine.

Refrain

Heir to the life im­mor­tal,
Joint rul­er on His throne,
Partaker of His glo­ry,
Jesus will be my ve­ry own.

Refrain

Glory to God the Fa­ther,
Glory to Christ the Son,
And to the Ho­ly Spir­it
For our re­demp­tion free­ly won.
