Loud let the an­them exult­ing­ly ring,
Angels with mor­tals unit­ed­ly sing;
Jesus is com­ing, our con­quering king;
Jesus is com­ing again.

Refrain

Coming again, com­ing again,
Coming in glo­ry, the Lamb that was slain;
Coming again, com­ing again,
Coming for­ev­er to reign.

Wonders on earth, in the sea and the sky,
Voices pro­claim­ing re­demp­tion is nigh,
When from His face ev­ery sin­ner will fly—
Jesus is com­ing again.

Refrain

Angry, the na­tions are plunged into woe,
Multitudes hur­rying on to and fro;
These are but signs of His com­ing, we know;
Jesus is com­ing again.

Refrain

Then all our loved ones from sleep will arise,
Caught up to­ge­ther to meet in the skies—
Family re­un­ions in joy­ful sur­prise:
Jesus is com­ing again.

Refrain

Savior, O hast­en that glo­ri­ous day!
Coming with clouds, in tri­ump­hal array,
Many will greet thee: Lord grant that we may,
When Thou art com­ing again.
