Lyrics

There’s a bless­èd hope that thrills my heart to know
That the Christ who came to earth so long ago,
Bearing all our sins be­cause He loved us so,
Promised He’d come back again some day.

Refrain

Coming, oh, yes, He’s com­ing,
The ve­ry same as when He went away,
Coming, my Lord is com­ing,
Oh praise His bless­èd name,
He’s com­ing back some day.

He who on the cross for me was cru­ci­fied,
He who for my sin and shame in ang­uish died,
He whose re­sur­rect­ion fully jus­ti­fied,
Promised He’d come back again some day.

Refrain

When He comes again ’twill be as King of kings,
Perfect peace and joy to all the earth He’ll bring,
Then through­out eter­ni­ty, His praise we’ll sing,
When, in glo­ry, He re­turns some day.
