Jesus is coming: the time draw­eth nigh;
Rapturous songs to Him we shall sing;
When He des­cends in the clouds of the sky—
Hail Him our glor­ious King.

Refrain

Shout Hal­lelujah! the Sav­ior is coming!
Jesus, our bless­èd Re­deem­er is com­ing!
Soon He’ll ap­pear, and like Him we shall be,
To all eter­ni­ty.

Jesus is com­ing: let glad­ness abound—
Song of His prais­es—Heav’n’s sweet­est strain;
Soon we shall hear as the trump­et’s clear sound
Tells that He’s come to reign.

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing: the skies soon will rend—
Angelic hosts with Him we shall see;
Dead saints shall rise and with us shall as­cend,
Ever with Christ to be.

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing: O hast­en to tell
Salvation’s tid­ings to ev­ery soul;
Millions, with us, shall His grand prais­es swell,
While count­less age­s roll.
