Lyrics

Over the val­ley and ov­er the plain,
Jesus is com­ing again;
Coming the faith­ful and right­eous to claim,
Coming, yes, com­ing again.
Over the mount­ain and ov­er the sea,
Over the de­sert and hill,
Coming in glo­ry our souls to make free,
If we have fol­lowed His will.

Refrain

Coming again, coming again,
Over the val­ley and o’er the plain,
Coming again, com­ing again,
Jesus to earth is com­ing again.

Over the val­ley and ov­er the plain,
Jesus is com­ing again;
Coming in glo­ry His own to re­claim,
Coming, yes, com­ing again.
On sno­wy pin­ions the good shall arise,
In tri­umph en­ter the sky,
There to in­her­it a sweet pa­ra­dise,
Where not a plea­sure can die.
