The Lord Is Coming

1The Lord is coming! let this be The herald note of jubilee;
And when we meet, and when we part,
The salutation from the heart.

2The 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.

3The Lord is coming! saints, rejoice!
We soon shall hear His glorious voice,
Majestic, uttered from afar,
As on He hastes His conquering car.

4The Lord is coming! vengeful, dire,
Are all His judgments and His ire,
And none can hope to escape His wrath,
Who walk not in the narrow path.
