Then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

From Heav’n to this region of sorrow,
The Savior is coming again;
Oh! could you receive Him tomorrow,
With spirit made free from all stain!
Refrain
Our blessèd Redeemer is coming again,
Coming again, coming again;
Be ready to meet and to welcome Him then,
He surely is coming again.
Oh! seek you today for salvation,
The Savior is coming again;
You may not receive condonation,
If longer in sin you remain!
Refrain
Rejoice, oh! ye ransomed, with singing,
The Savior is coming again;
Release to His chosen ones bringing—
A home in that peaceful domain!
