Coming Again (Blackmer)

Jesus

my Sav­ior

is com­ing again

Sound out the ti­dings o’er earth and main;

Coming to ga­ther His peo­ple and reign

Coming to earth again.

Coming again

com­ing again

Jesus is com­ing

pro­long the strain;

Coming again

com­ing again

Coming on earth to reign.

Jesus is com­ing

oh

won­der­ful word

Sweeter than any on earth I’ve heard

He whom my soul over all hath pre­ferred

Coming to earth again.

Oh

can it be He is com­ing ere long

He whom I’m trust­ing with faith so strong

He who alone is the theme of my song

Coming to earth again?

Why should the tid­ings bring glad­ness to me?

Surely mine eyes shall His beau­ty see;

And in His pre­sence I ev­er shall be

When He shall come again.

Thought of His com­ing my soul doth elate

As in the gloam­ing I watch and wait;

Longing each day for the glo­ri­fied state;

When He shall come again.

When He shall come all my grief shall be o’er;

Friends I shall meet to for­get no more

Whom death re­moved in the dark days of yore

Till He shall come again.
