Lyrics

Let all the ransomed unite to sing
Praises to Je­sus our conquering king;
Let all the joy-bells of Hea­ven ring—
Jesus is coming soon.

Refrain

Coming soon, Je­sus is coming soon;
King of the nations, our glo­ri­ous groom,
Coming soon.

Signs in the earth and the starry sky
Loudly pro­claim our re­demp­tion nigh;
Lift up your head, and with fervor cry,
Jesus is coming soon.

Refrain

War and commotion in every land
Point to the end with unerring hand;
Christian, prepare in your lot to stand—
Jesus is coming soon.
