There’s a glo­ri­ous king­dom wait­ing
In the land be­yond the sky,
Where the saints have all been ga­ther­ing
Year by year.
And the days are swift­ly pass­ing
That will bring the king­dom nigh,
For the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

Refrain

Oh, the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!
Oh, the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near;
Be thou rea­dy, O my soul,
For the trum­pet soon may roll,
And the King in His glo­ry shall ap­pear!

’Tis the hope of yon­der king­dom,
And the glo­ry there pre­pared,
And the look­ing for the Sav­ior to ap­pear;
That de­liv­ers us from bond­age
To the world that once en­snared,
For the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

Refrain

With the com­ing of the king­dom,
We shall see our bless­èd Lord,
For the King be­fore the king­dom
Must ap­pear;
Hallelujah to His name,
Who re­deemed us by His blood!
For the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

Refrain

Oh, the world is grow­ing wea­ry,
It has wait­ed now so long,
And the hearts of men are fail­ing
Them for fear;
Let us tell them of the king­dom,
Let us cheer them with the song,
That the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!
