| 1. Jesus is coming! go,
herald the tidings
Far over the land and the sea;
Jesus is coming
to gather the ransomed,
Redeemed by
His death on the tree.
Angels attending,
the heavens descending—
All language our joy will transcend,
When we shall see Him,
the King in His beauty,
Our Bridegroom,
Redeemer, and Friend.
Refrain.
Jesus is coming,
our Savior and Lover divine;
Soon in His glory
the ransomed of ages will shine;
Ages on ages we’ll reign
with our King on His throne;
Wonderful story!
We’ll share in His glory,
Redeemed by
His mercy divine.
2. Lift up your heads and rejoice,
O ye righteous,
Your perfect redemption is nigh;
Swiftly the darkness
of midnight approaches,
“He cometh”
shall sound from the sky.
Long has the battle
been waged against evil
By suffering saints here below.
Jesus is coming
to banish our sorrow,
And lead us where tears never flow.
Refrain.
Jesus is coming,
our Savior and Lover divine;
Soon in His glory
the ransomed of ages will shine;
Ages on ages we’ll reign
with our King on His throne;
Wonderful story!
We’ll share in His glory,
Redeemed by
His mercy divine.
3. Come, dear Lord Jesus,
Thy promise fulfilling;
“Come quickly!”
our souls cry to Thee:
Long has the world
been enthralled by the tempter,
The curse is on land and on sea.
Yet Thou shalt triumph,
the nations subduing,
The truth of the Word cannot fail;
God’s wondrous glory,
like ocean’s deep billows,
To earth’s farthest bounds
shall prevail.
Refrain.
Jesus is coming,
our Savior and Lover divine;
Soon in His glory
the ransomed of ages will shine;
Ages on ages we’ll reign
with our King on His throne;
Wonderful story!
We’ll share in His glory,
Redeemed by
His mercy divine.
