He's Coming Back!

Charles Price Jones • English

Primary Scripture: James 5:8

Verse 1

Hear, O hear the joyful bells a-ringing! They tell us that this celebrates the day when Christ was born; When He came His great salvation bringing, Yet but a babe in Bethlehem that happy natal morn.

Chorus

Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Ring it out o'er valley hill and plain! Spread the news: He's coming back again! O hallelujah! Praise His name! He' coming back again!

Verse 2

Peal, ye bells of glorious revelations, Sound out the tidings full and clear o'er wooded land and main; Rouse, O rouse the slumb'ring, sinful nations, Awake them to the happy hope that Christ shall come again.

Chorus

Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Ring it out o'er valley hill and plain! Spread the news: He's coming back again! O hallelujah! Praise His name! He' coming back again!

Verse 3

Hear, O hear the Christmas bells a-ringing; O shall the echo call the mem'ry back to Calvary? Shall they find us songs of glory singing, Or rolling in the muddy tide of self-debauchery?

Chorus

Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Ring it out o'er valley hill and plain! Spread the news: He's coming back again! O hallelujah! Praise His name! He' coming back again!

Verse 4

Hear, O hear the echo of the morning: "Behold He comes,"the angels shout; ye faithful join the cry; Christ the Lord, God's glory Him adorning, Is coming to redeem His saints, behold Him, ev'ry eye.

Chorus

Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Ring it out o'er valley hill and plain! Spread the news: He's coming back again! O hallelujah! Praise His name! He' coming back again!
