Don't you see my Jesus coming,Don't you see in yonder cloud?With ten thousand angels round him,With ten thousand angels round him,See how they my Jesus crowd.

Don't you see the saints ascending,Hear them shouting through the air?Jesus smiling, trumpets sounding,Jesus smiling, trumpets soundingNow his glory they shall share.

Don't you see the heavens open,And the saints in glory there?Shouts of triumph bursting round you,Shouts of triumph bursting round you,Glory, glory, glory here!

Come backsliders tho' you've pierc'd him,And have caused his church to mourn;You may yet regain free pardon,You may yet regain free pardon,If you will to him return.

Now behold each loving spiritShout the praise of his dear name,View the smiles of their dear Jesus,View the smiles of their dear Jesus,While his presence feeds the flame.

There we'll range the fields of pleasure,By our dear Redeemer's side,Shouting, glory, glory, glory !Shouting, glory, glory, glory !While eternal ages glide.
