The Lord is coming! let this be

1

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

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! saints, rejoice!We soon shall hear his glorious voice,Majestic, uttered from afar,As on he hastes his conquering car.

4

The 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.
