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.
