I have read how the Lord
Was a babe in Beth­le­hem,
How they found no room for Him in the inn;
I have read how He walked
Here among the sons of men,
And I’m told that He’s com­ing back again.

Refrain

He is com­ing back again,
He is com­ing back again,
He is com­ing, not to die,
But to take us home on high;
Yes, our bless­èd Lord is com­ing back again.

I have read how He walked
On the sea of Ga­li­lee,
How He raised the wi­dow’s son down in Nain;
I have read how the poor
Did re­joice the Christ to see,
And I’m told that He’s com­ing back again.

Refrain

I have read how He stood
With His feet on Oli­ve’s brow,
How He blest the sad dis­ci­ples again;
I have read how He said
I am go­ing to leave you now,
And I’m told that He’s com­ing back again.

Refrain
