Jesus Is Coming Again (Harris)

lyricist: R. L. Harris, 1901
Composer: William Dale

Spread the news of the com­ing

Of the Sav­ior again

For His signs are ap­pear­ing in the skies;

Shout

ye bur­dened in spir­it

Who have tra­vailed in pain

For He comes to wipe your weep­ing eyes.

Rise and shout

Hal­le­lu­jah! For He comes

Rise and shout

Hal­le­lu­jah! For He comes;

Rise and shout

Hal­le­lu­jah! For He comes

And we’ll all go to meet Him by and by.

Keep your lamps trimmed and burn­ing

For the time draw­eth nigh

When the saints that go weep­ing shall re­joice;

For we’ll mount up to meet Him

As He comes in the sky

When we hear the por­ter’s wel­come voice.

Howl and weep

all ye na­tions

Who have gone far as­tray

For the time sure­ly com­eth by and by

When your vain

emp­ty plea­sures

Shall like clouds flee away

When you hear the shout­ing in the sky.

Lo! His signs are now ga­ther­ing

As the light on us dawns

For the bride’s dressed in lin­en clean and white;

And the Bride­groom is com­ing

Whom she’s looked for so long

With ten thou­sand

thou­sand saints in light.
