Primary Scripture: Matthew 24:14

Verse 1

Christ's Everlasting Gospel is ringing out again Its message of salvation, its peace, goodwill to men; Tho' sin has hurled its weapons, and evil hosts assailed, The Gospel of Christ Jesus has evermore prevailed:

Chorus

Our King shall come in glory, His conqu'ring cross we hail! The pow'r of His salvation Shall never, never fail!

Verse 2

Sometimes the sky is darkened, and stormy clouds appear, But still, beyond the shadows, the light is bright and clear; The God of truth has spoken; His word will never fail, The Gospel of Christ Jesus shall more and more prevail:

Chorus

Our King shall come in glory, His conqu'ring cross we hail! The pow'r of His salvation Shall never, never fail!

Verse 3

The faith wherein is vict'ry in Jesus we proclaim, Tho' earthly thrones may perish still lives Emmanuel's name; Our voices swell with triumph, above earth's threat'ning gales, The Gospel of Christ Jesus thro' ev'ry age prevails:

Chorus

Our King shall come in glory, His conqu'ring cross we hail! The pow'r of His salvation Shall never, never fail!
