The Lord Himself will come down from Heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thessalonians 4:16

Jesus is coming! O hear the glad song;
Coming again, tho’ He’s tarried so long;
To gather His saints, a jubilant throng;
Jesus is coming again!
Refrain
Jesus is coming, He’s coming again,
Jesus is coming, yes, coming again;
He’ll gather His saints from hilltop and plain;
Jesus is coming again!
Jesus is coming! His saints shall awake;
Coming again, earth shall tremble and shake;
Our God’s waiting ones of glory partake,
Jesus is coming again!
Refrain
Jesus is coming! His promise is true;
Coming to earth, and all things He’ll renew;
His saints will rejoice and welcome Him, too,
Jesus is coming again!
Refrain
Jesus is coming! The bells loudly ring;
Praise never ending the saints sweetly sing;
He’s coming to reign our glorious King;
Jesus is coming again!
Refrain
Jesus is coming! O quickly prepare
To enter with Him the home over there,
Forever to live in mansions so fair;
Jesus is coming again!
