I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
John 14:3

If you know where to get a good photo of McDonald (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
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.
Refrain
