Hark! hark! hear the blest tidings

1

Hark! hark! hear the blest tidings;Soon, soon, Jesus will come,Robed, robed, in honor and glory,To gather his ransomed ones home.Yes, yes, O yes,To gather his ransomed ones home.

2

Joy, joy, sound it more loudly,Sing, sing, Glory to God!Soon, soon, Jesus is coming,Publish the tidings abroad.Yes, yes, O yes,Publish the tidings abroad.

3

Bright, bright, seraphs attending,Shouts, shouts, filling the air;Down, down, swiftly from heaven,Jesus our Lord will appear.Yes, yes, O yes,Jesus our Lord will appear.

4

Now, now, through a glass darkly,Shine, shine, visions to come;Soon, soon, we shall behold them,Cloudless and bright in our home.Yes, yes, O yes,Cloudless and bright in our home.

5

Long, long, we have been waiting,Who, who, love his blest name;Now, now, we are delighting,Jesus is near to proclaim.Yes, yes, O yes,Jesus is near to proclaim.

6

Still, still, rest on the promise,Cling, cling, fast to his word;Wait, wait, if he should tarry,Patiently wait for the Lord.Yes, yes, O yes,Patiently wait for the Lord.
