The Lord is coming, let this be
The
herald note of jubilee;
And
when we meet and when we part
The
salutation from the heart.
Refrain
The
Lord is coming, let this be
The
herald note of jubilee,
The
herald note of jubilee.
2
The
Lord is coming! sound it forth
From
east to west, from south to north;
Speed
on! speed on the tidings glad,
That
none who love Him may be sad.
3
The
Lord is coming, swift and sure
And
all His judgments shall endure;
And
none can hope to escape His wrath,
Who
walk not in the narrow path.
4
The
earth, with her ten thousand wrongs
Will
soon be tuned in nobler songs;
Our
praise shall then, in realms of light,
With
all His universe unite.
