I am watch­ing for the com­ing
Of the glad mil­len­ni­al day,
When our bless­èd Lord shall come and catch
His wait­ing bride away.
Oh! my heart is filled with rap­ture
As I la­bor, watch, and pray,
For our Lord is com­ing back to earth again.

Refrain

Oh, our Lord is com­ing back to earth again.
Yes, our Lord is com­ing back to earth again.
Satan will be bound a thou­sand years;
We’ll have no tempt­er then,
After Je­sus shall come back to earth again.

Jesus’ com­ing back will be
The an­swer to earth’s sor­row­ing cry,
For the know­ledge of the Lord
Shall fill the earth and sea and sky.
God shall take away all sick­ness
And the suf­fer­er’s tears will dry,
When our Sav­ior will come back to earth again.

Refrain

Yes, the ran­somed of the Lord shall come
To Zi­on then with joy,
And in all His holy mount­ain
Nothing hurts or shall de­stroy.
Perfect peace shall reign in ev­ery heart,
And love without al­loy,
After Je­sus shall come back to earth again.

Refrain

Then the sin and sor­row, pain and death
Of this dark world shall cease,
In a glo­ri­ous reign with Je­sus
Of a thou­sand years of peace.
All the earth is groan­ing, cry­ing
For that day of sweet re­lease,
For our Je­sus shall come back to earth again.
