1 Lift up your heads, ye pilgrims,
And view yon eastern sky;
The night of sin is ending,
The morning draweth nigh;
The day foretold by prophets
Will soon be ushered in,
When Christ, the one who suffered,
The world shall own as king.
Refrain:
He’s coming by and by,
He’s coming by and by;
The night of sin is ending,
The morning draweth nigh;
He’s coming by and by,
He’s coming by and by;
The night of sin is ending,
The morning draweth nigh.
2 Lift up your heads, ye pilgrims,
And watch the morning break;
For lo, Christ’s glorious coming
The thrones of earth will shake;
See those who do not own Him
In mountains seek to hide,
Whilst those who love and trust Him
Still in His grace confide. [Refrain]
3 Lift up your heads, ye pilgrims,
For ’tis the Bridegroom comes
With trumpet voice to call you
Forth to His royal throne;
See that your lamps are burning,
Your garments pure and white,
That He may find you watching
And walking in the light. [Refrain]
4 Lift up your heads, ye pilgrims,
And as ye journey on,
Let faith and hope with courage
Be ever firm and strong;
Show by each word and action
That Christ is real to you,
And that His glorious coming
Is ever clear in view. [Refrain]
5 Lift up your heads, ye pilgrims,
Sing in that gladsome day;
Naught but the Savior’s coming
The tide of sin can stay;
Creation groans whilst burdened
For pain and toil to cease;
Come, Prince of Life and Glory,
Bring universal peace. [Refrain]
