Lyrics

Jesus is coming, is coming again;
Shout the glad tidings, the good news proclaim!
Jesus is coming a king on His throne,
Jesus is coming to welcome His own.

Refrain

Jesus is coming, repeat the refrain;
Jesus is coming, is coming again.

Jesus is coming, redeemed ones, be glad;
Put on the garments of beauty—be clad;
Watching and waiting be, soon He will come,
Come in His grandeur to welcome you home.

Refrain

Jesus is coming; O sinner, awake!
Free is salvation to all who partake;
Drink at the fountain that flows full and free,
Mercy and pardon are offered to thee.
