He is coming! He is coming!
Shout aloud this glad refrain;
Send the cry to every city,
To the valleys, hills and plain;
He is coming! He is coming!
Have you never read nor heard?
He will gather all His people,
As He promised in His word.
Refrain
He is coming! He is coming!
Pass the news along the way.
Be ye ready, watching, waiting,
For the King may come today.
He is coming! He is coming!
Pass the joyful news along;
All the souls redeemed in Jesus,
Sing aloud redemption’s song;
He is coming! He is coming!
Are your lamps all trimmed and bright?
Oh, be ready, watching, working,
For the Lord may come tonight.
Refrain
He is coming! He is coming!
Lift your heart in faith and pray;
Soon the night of sin and darkness
Shall forever pass away;
He is coming! Are you ready?
Are you washed in Jesus’ blood?
We shall wear a crown of glory,
In the kingdom of our God.
Refrain
