Scripture Verse

All the tribes of the earth…shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:30

Introduction

Words: John G. Ro­bin­son in The Jew­eled Crown, by Asa Hull (New York: Asa Hull, 1891), num­ber 46. Note: In its cur­rent form, the ar­range­ment (es­pe­cial­ly the re­frain) is prob­ab­ly too com­plex for con­gre­ga­tion­al sing­ing, but still could be us­eful for a choir or praise band.

Music: Har­ry Sand­ers (🔊 pdf nwc).

If you know where to get a good pho­to of Ro­bin­son or Sand­ers,

Lyrics

Jesus is coming in glo­ry again,
So sa­ith the Bible, and so we be­lieve;
Hear it, ye suf­fer­ing child­ren of men,
Coming that we in His glo­ry may live.

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing again, coming in glo­ry again,
Jesus is com­ing to reign; Je­sus is com­ing again!
Jesus is com­ing again, Je­sus is com­ing again,
Jesus is com­ing again!

Coming! no more as the Babe in the stall;
Coming! no more shall the thorns pierce His brow;
Coming in tri­umph, the Sav­ior of all,
Coming in glor­ious ma­jes­ty now.

Refrain

Coming! no more to be jeered by the vile;
Coming! no more as the Sor­row­ful One;
Coming! His face to His friends wears a smile;
Coming! His face to His foes wears a frown.

Refrain

Coming! now join us in rap­tur­ous song;
Shout hal­le­lu­jah in tri­umph we may;
Coming! let an­gels the an­them pro­long;
Jesus is com­ing, all hail the glad day!
