Lyrics

Jesus Christ is com­ing back to reign in peace;
And His won­drous might and power shall nev­er cease;
Coming from His home in Heav­en,
From His glory cir­cled throne,
He is com­ing, com­ing back to His own.

Refrain

Coming back, com­ing back,
Christ the Lord is com­ing back from His throne;
He will come, to His own,
Christ is com­ing, com­ing back to His own.

Satan’s sin­ful reign for­ev­er shall be o’er,
There will be no grief nor sor­row any more;
Tho’ at times our hearts are wea­ry,
And we feel all left alone,
Christ is com­ing, com­ing back to His own.

Refrain

Now the time for His re­turn­ing draw­eth nigh,
For the golden light is break­ing in the sky;
Let us watch for His ap­pear­ing,
Till the night to day has grown,
He is com­ing, com­ing back to His own.
