He Is Coming Again

Mabel Johnson Camp

Verse 1
Lift up your heads, pilgrim a weary
See day’s approach, Now crimson the sky
Night shadows flee, And your beloved
Awaited with longing, at last draweth night.

Chorus
He is coming again, He is coming again
The very same Jesus, Rejected of men
He is coming again, He is coming again
With power and great glory
He is coming again, He is coming again

Verse 2
Dark was the night, sin warred against us
Heavy the load of sorrow we bore
But now we see signs of his coming
Our hearts glow within us, Joys cup runneth over!

Verse 3
O blessed hope! o blissful promise
Filling our hearts with rapture divine
O day of days! hail thy appearing
Thy transcendent glory forever shall shine!

Verse 4
Even so, come, precious lord Jesus
Creation waits redemption to see
Caught up in clouds, soon we shall meet thee
O blessed assurance, Forever with thee
