Lyrics

From Heav’n to this region of sorrow,
The Savior is coming again;
Oh! could you receive Him tomorrow,
With spirit made free from all stain!

Refrain

Our blessèd Redeemer is coming again,
Coming again, coming again;
Be ready to meet and to welcome Him then,
He surely is coming again.

Oh! seek you today for salvation,
The Savior is coming again;
You may not receive condonation,
If longer in sin you remain!

Refrain

Rejoice, oh! ye ransomed, with singing,
The Savior is coming again;
Release to His chosen ones bringing—
A home in that peaceful domain!
