Hark! an aw­ful voice is sound­ing,
Christ is com­ing, seems to say;
We re­joice to hear the mes­sage;
O ye child­ren, watch and pray.

Refrain

He’s com­ing, He’s com­ing,
He’s com­ing to save His own;
He’s com­ing, He’s com­ing,
He’s com­ing to save His own.

Soon the Son of God is com­ing,
With the ho­ly an­gel band;
Coming to re­ceive His jew­els,
Take them to a bet­ter land.

Refrain

Shout the news, the Lord is com­ing,
Comes with par­don down from Heav’n;
Let us haste with tears and sor­row,
One and all to be for­giv’n.

Refrain

O! the glo­ri­ous, glo­ri­ous com­ing,
Every faith­ful soul to save,
Every wea­ry child to carry
Safely ov­er Jordan’s wave.
