Jesus came from Heav’n to die up­on the tree,
And He died that from our sins we might be free;
From the grave He went on high
To His home be­yond the sky;
But He’s com­ing back in glo­ry by and by.

Refrain

He is com­ing, by and by, He is com­ing,
He is com­ing in His glo­ry from on high!
Oh, what rap­ture it will be
When His bless­èd face we see,
When He comes in all His glo­ry by and by.

When He comes He’ll call His peo­ple from the tomb,
Nevermore to live in sor­row or in gloom;
He will take them up on high
To their home be­yond the sky;
When He’s com­ing in His glo­ry by and by.

Refrain

He’ll re­ward His faith­ful ser­vants on that day,
All their sor­rows and their la­bors He’ll re­pay;
We shall hear th’arch­an­gel’s cry
When He’s com­ing from on high;
Oh, the rap­ture at His com­ing by and by.

Refrain
