Hymn 4

He is coming

Verse 1
How sweet are the tidings that greet the pilgrim’s ear,
as he wander in ex-ile from home!
Soon, soon will the Saviour in glory appear,
And soon will the kingdom come.
Chorus
He’s coming, coming, coming soon, I know,
coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go,
When the Saviour comes to reign.
Verse 2
The mossy old graves where the pil-grims sleep
shall be o-pen’d as wide as before,
and the millions that sleep in the mighty deep
shall live on this earth once more.
Chorus
He’s coming, coming, coming soon, I know,
coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go,
When the Saviour comes to reign.
Verse 3
There we’ll meet ne’er to part in our happy Eden home, Sweet songs or redemption we’ll sing;
From the north, from the South, all the ransom’d shall come,
And worship our heavenly King.
Chorus
He’s coming, coming, coming soon, I know,
coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go,
When the Saviour comes to reign.
Verse 4
Hal-lelu-jah, A-men! Ha-le-lu-jah a-gain!
Soon, if faithful, we all shall be there;
O, be watchful, be hopeful- be joyful till then,
And a crown of bright glory we’ll wear.
Chorus
He’s coming, coming, coming soon, I know,
coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go,
When the Saviour comes to reign.
