Lyrics

Lyrics

The Mas­ter is coming! He’s coming again!
He’s coming to free us from sorrow and pain!
And all who in Him are asleep in the grave
Shall wake at His voice, for He’s mighty to save.

The saints who are living, and those who arise,
Shall mount up together to Him in the skies;
Their bodies shall then incorruptible be,
And fashioned like Him, and His glo­ry shall see.

So, seeing we know that our Lord shall appear,
To set up His kingdom of right­eous­ness here,
We watch for the dawn of that glo­ri­ous day,
And pray as He taught the disciples to pray:

Our Fa­ther in Hea­ven, may Thy kingdom come:
Thy will upon earth, as in Hea­ven be done;
For Thine shall the power and glo­ry be then,
And Thine the dominion for ever. Amen.
