Oh, I’m looking for my Sav­ior,
Who has gone from earth to Hea­ven,
He has pro­mised to come back some day, you see;
And it fills my soul with glo­ry,
As I read the sweet, old sto­ry,
Just to know that Christ is com­ing af­ter me.

Refrain

He’s com­ing af­ter me (soon com­ing),
He’s com­ing after me (soon com­ing),
He’s com­ing back, I know,
To catch His wait­ing bride away;
And it fills my soul with glo­ry,
As I sing the sweet old sto­ry,
Just to know that Christ is com­ing af­ter me.

Oh, my heart grows sad and wea­ry
With the ma­ny days so drea­ry,
O this world has lost its love and charms for me;
But I’m filled with fire and glo­ry,
When I read the pre­cious sto­ry,
When I think about His com­ing af­ter me.

Refrain

Oh, dear friends, I well re­mem­ber
That when first I found the Sav­ior,
How He sweet­ly took my aches and pains away;
And He filled my soul with glo­ry,
How I love to tell the sto­ry,
And to know that He is coming af­ter me.

Refrain

See the Sav­ior stand­ing, plead­ing,
And His brok­en heart is bleed­ing
For a world that’s steeped in sin of low de­gree;
Oh, dear sin­ner, heed the sto­ry,
Let Him fill your soul with glo­ry,
Oh, get ready, for He’s coming af­ter me.

Refrain
