He Is Coming Again

Verse 1

Lift up your heads, pilgrims a-weary, See day’s approach now crimson the sky; Night shadows flee, and your Beloved, Awaited with longing, at last draweth nigh.

Chorus

He is coming again, He is coming again, The very same Jesus, rejected of men; He is coming again, He is coming again, With pow'r and great glory, He is coming again!

Verse 2

Dark was the night, sin warred against us; Heavy the load of sorrow we bore; But now we see signs of His coming; Our hearts glow within us, joy’s cup runneth o’er!

Verse 3

O blessed hope! O blissful promise! Filling our hearts with rapture divine; O day of days! hail Thy appearing! Thy transcendent glory forever shall shine!

Verse 4

Even so come, precious Lord Jesus; Creation waits redemption to see; Caught up in clouds, soon we shall meet Thee; O blessed assurance, forever with Thee!
