Lyrics

The comĀ­ing King is at the door
Who once the cross for sinĀ­ners bore;
But now the rightĀ­eous ones alone
He comes to gaĀ­ther home.

Refrain

At the door, at the door,
At the door, yes, evĀ­en at the door;
He is comĀ­ing, He is comĀ­ing,
He is evĀ­en at the door.

The signs that show His comĀ­ing near
Are fast fulĀ­fillĀ­ing year by year,
And soon weā€™ll hail the gloĀ­rious dawn
Of Heavā€™nā€™s eterĀ­nal morn.

Refrain

Look not on earth for strife to cease;
Look not beĀ­low for joy and peace
Until the SavĀ­ior comes again
To banĀ­ish death and sin.

Refrain

Then in the gloĀ­rious earth made new
Weā€™ll dwell the countĀ­less ages through;
This morĀ­tal shall imĀ­morĀ­tal be,
And time, eterĀ­niĀ­ty.
