When He Comes

Edgar Fleenor • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:7

Verse 1

Oh, the Lord will soon return, And the earth in flames shall burn, When He comes, when He comes; We shall see Him, every eye, Swiftly flying thro’ the sky, When He comes, when He comes.

Chorus

When He comes, when He comes, He will judge the quick and dead, When He comes.

Verse 2

Hear His voice from shore to shore, Crying, “Time shall be no more,” When He comes, when He comes; Then if you are found in sin, You can never dwell with Him, When He comes, when He comes.

Chorus

When He comes, when He comes, He will judge the quick and dead, When He comes.

Verse 3

Wake, ye nations from the ground, Gabriel’s trumpet then shall sound, When He comes, when He comes; All the dead in sea and land Shall arise at His command, When He comes, when He comes.

Chorus

When He comes, when He comes, He will judge the quick and dead, When He comes.

Verse 4

Seek salvation while ’tis day, Earth will melt and pass away, When He comes, when He comes; You’ll be lost in hope of grace, And a future resting place, When He comes, when He comes.

Chorus

When He comes, when He comes, He will judge the quick and dead, When He comes.
