Lyrics

Jesus, Sav­ior, bless­èd Bride­groom,
Glorious Lord and com­ing King,

Refrain

Jesus is com­ing,
In clouds of glo­ry com­ing;
He is our Bride­groom
Coming from the sky;
We’ll all rise to meet Him,
We’ll all go out to greet Him;
Shout, for His com­ing draw­eth nigh.

Oh how glo­ri­ous is this pros­pect;
Jesus com­ing back to reign.

Refrain

Watch at dawn, and watch at mid­day;
Watch at night and ev­en­ing’s glow.
