Christ Is Coming (Mast)

lyricist: Jennie Mast, 1893
Composer: Barney Warren

Christ is com­ing

quick­ly com­ing

In a cloud of flam­ing fire;

Some will rise in glo­ri­ous bright­ness

Others sink be­neath His ire.

Oh

the glo­ri­ous day of tri­umph

For the soul that’s robed in white!

Saints will rise with shouts of vic­to­ry

Sinners sink to end­less night.

Yes

we know that Christ is com­ing

Soon we’ll hear the trum­pet sound;

We can meet Him

hal­le­lujah!

If in right­eous­ness we’re found.

But

this sin­ful world of dark­ness

In their sins

will sink to hell!

Oh

the aw­ful cries of ang­uish!

Human tongues can nev­er tell.

He is com­ing

quick­ly com­ing

Every eye shall see Him then;

Oh

how sweet will be the meet­ing

Where we’ll nev­er part again.

Some will cry for rocks and mount­ains

For to hide them from His face

Those who now re­ject His mer­cy

And will not ac­cept His grace.

Christ is com­ing

quick­ly com­ing

Hear the warn­ing

ye that sleep

Oh

pre­pare your soul to meet Him

Or in ang­uish you will weep.

If He comes and you’re not rea­dy

You’ll be ban­ished from His face

If you now re­ject His mer­cy

You’ll be lost with­out His grace.

Christ is com­ing

hal­le­lu­jah!

Shout His prais­es

all ye saints

For we know His smiles will greet us

As we en­ter thro’ the gates.

We are rea­dy

clad in white­ness

All our sins are washed away;

With our bless­èd

lov­ing Sav­ior

We’ll abide in end­less day.
