Lyrics

Jesus is com­ing! O sing the glad word!
Coming for those He re­deemed by His blood,
Coming to reign as the glo­ri­fied Lord!
Jesus is com­ing again!

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing, is com­ing again!
Jesus is com­ing again!
Shout the glad tid­ings o’er mount­ain and plain!
Jesus is com­ing again!

Jesus is com­ing! The dead shall arise,
Loved ones shall meet in a joy­ful sur­prise,
Caught up to­ge­ther to Him in the skies
Jesus is com­ing again!

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing! His saints to re­lease;
Coming to give to the war­ring earth peace:
Sinning and sigh­ing, and sor­row shall cease.
Jesus is com­ing again.

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing! The pr­omise is true;
Who are the chos­en, the faith­ful, the few,
Waiting and watch­ing, pre­pared for re­view?
Jesus is com­ing again!
