Salvation's Tidal Wave

Mrs. C. H. Morris • English

Primary Scripture: Joel 2:28

Verse 1

A tidal wave is drawing near, is coming sure and soon, Salvation full and free shall over all the world be known; The gospel preached in every clime and land beneath the sun, ‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

Chorus

‘Tis coming by and by, ‘tis coming by and by, The dawning of a better day lights up the eastern sky; The jubilee of holiness on rapid wings draws nigh, ‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

Verse 2

A tidal wave of gospel power by prophets long foretold, When God his Spirit shall outpour upon the young and old; Your daughters and your sons shall prophesy with courage bold, ‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

Chorus

‘Tis coming by and by, ‘tis coming by and by, The dawning of a better day lights up the eastern sky; The jubilee of holiness on rapid wings draws nigh, ‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

Verse 3

Be glad, ye children of our God, rejoice in Christ your King, Into the storehouse of the Lord your tithes and off’rings bring; ‘Tis near at hand, that glorious day, lift up your voice and sing, ‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.

Chorus

‘Tis coming by and by, ‘tis coming by and by, The dawning of a better day lights up the eastern sky; The jubilee of holiness on rapid wings draws nigh, ‘Tis coming, ‘tis coming, ‘tis coming by and by.
