1 He’s coming in the morning!
We’ve seen His herald star;
Away toward the eastward
Are gleamings from afar;
He’s coming, surely coming,
The night has lasted long;
We have His blessèd promise,
We sing with faith our song.

2 He’s coming in the morning,
To waken all who sleep!
His servants who are resting
In earth and mighty deep;
He’s coming, surely coming,
The dead in Christ shall rise;
In resurrection garments
They’ll meet Him in the skies.

3 He’s coming in the morning,
The dawning draweth nigh;
Believers shall be gathered
To yonder home on high;
He’s coming, surely coming,
Then we shall with Him reign,
Be changed into His likeness;
He’s coming back again.
