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.
