Do you know why He’s robed me in garments of white, And has bidden me all ready to be, With oil in my vessel, and my lamp all trimmed and bright? ‘Tis because He is coming for me. Refrain: O He’s coming back again, He is coming back again, I’m so glad that He is coming back again He is coming for me, and His glory I shall see, I’m so glad He is coming for me. 2 Do you know why no longer I can call this world my home, And my heart from its fetters is set free? ‘Tis because I’m expecting that my Bridegroom soon will come, And I know He is coming for me. Do you know why I’m sending the tidings unto all, And am warning them from Judgment to flee? He has sent me His guests to the wedding feast to call, O He’s coming, yes, coming for me. [Refrain] 3 Do you know Jesus promised when He left this world of sin That He’d come again in glory in the air? And His ransomed Bride will meet Him when the trumpet loud shall sound, I’m so glad that His glory I’ll share. When I think of the day when from sin He set me free, How my heart doth turn to Him, my loved and true, And I long for the time when my Savior I shall see;— Are you sure that He’s coming for you?

He is coming, coming, coming on the cloud

Author: William Brickey Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:9 First Line: He is coming, yes, he's coming, with the holy angel band Lyrics: 1 He is coming, yes, he's coming, with the holy angel band, We rejoice to hear the message as it speeds by sea and land, When the gospel of the kingdom shall in all the world be preached For a witness to all nations, and its final triumph reached. Chorus: He is coming, coming, coming on the cloud, With a shout of triumph, and with trumpet loud; All the dead shall hear his voice, all the righteous shall rejoice; For he's coming in glory soon to reign. 2 He is coming, yes, he's coming with great majesty and power, While before and round about him fire and tempest shall devour: Yes, with more than pageant splendor as he rides upon the cloud, While the saints and holy angels shout with hallelujahs loud. [Chorus] 3 He is coming, not in secret, but like lightning in the sky, With the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God most high. Then the dead in Christ will hear his voice and from their graves arise, And with all the living righteous they shall meet him in the skies. [Chorus] 4 He is coming, yes, he's coming; heav'n and earth before him flee, But in all the new creation naught but righteousness shall be; Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed to shine, When the Lord in dazzling glory reigns in righteousness divine. [Chorus] 5 He is coming! O what rapture! O what music to the ear! We anticipate his glory, and believe his kingdom near; We have waited for him patiently, and still our faith is strong, And we almost hear the angels shout "hosannas," loud and long.

Through the Darkness of the Ages

Author: Hilary Jolly, 1945- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:11 Lyrics: 1 Through the darkness of the ages, through the sorrows of the days, strength of weary generations, lifting hearts in hope and praise, light in darkness, joy in sorrow, presence to allay all fears, Jesus, you have kept your promise, faithful through two thousand years. 2 Bounty of two thousand harvests, beauty of two thousand springs; He who framed the times and seasons has vouchsafed us greater things. Word of God who spoke creation speaks forgiveness, speaks to save, gathers still his ransomed people in the life he freely gave. 3 Countless flowers have bloomed and withered, countless noons are sealed in night, shattered thrones and fallen empires, realms and riches lost from sight. Christ, your kingdom still increases as the centuries unfold. Grain that fell to earth and perished has brought forth ten thousand-fold. 4 Master, we shall sing your praises, man of sorrows, God of power, for the measured march of seasons shall at last bring in the hour when, as lightning leaps the heavens, you return to lead us home. You have promised, "I am coming." Swiftly, our Lord Jesus, come. Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
