Lyrics

As once to earth the Savior came,
Sometime He’ll come again;
The sky with heav’nly light aflame,
Sometime He’ll come again.

Refrain

Sometime, sometime,
Christ shall come to reign.
Prepare my soul to meet Him,
Sometime He’ll come again.

Tell everywhere with great delight,
Sometime He’ll come again;
Upon the clouds of glory bright,
Sometime He’ll come again.

Refrain

O’er all the earth the tidings ring,
Sometime He’ll come again;
Not as a babe, but as a king,
Sometime He’ll come again.

Refrain

When dawns that blessèd morning fair,
Sometime He’ll come again;
His saints will meet Him in the air,
Sometime He’ll come again.

Refrain

O let us live and do our best,
Sometime He’ll come again;
Then He will take us home to rest,
Sometime He’ll come again.
