9729. Christ Is Coming

1 Heirs of victory are we
Through the Christ of Calvary;
Storms may beat and foes assail;
But His kingdom cannot fail.

Refrain:
Christ is coming, shout your praise;
Lo! the dawn of better days;
Christ is coming from on high,
Victory is very nigh;
Christ is coming from on high,
Victory is very nigh.

2 He who came will come again;
Raise your hopes, O sons of men!
We His kingdom’s dawn have seen;
What though clouds may intervene? [Refrain]

3 His appearing draweth nigh;
Cease your doubting, hush the sigh,
Our inheritance is sure;
Christ hath made His Word secure. [Refrain]

4 Lo! He cometh, and shall reign;
We have not believed in vain;
In our hearts who speaks release
Brings from Heav’n His reign of peace. [Refrain]
