My King will soon come back again

lyricist: Watchman Nee
Composer: Richard Storrs Willis

My King will soon come back again

The sky be filled with Him;

The universe to be redeemed

Will see His light therein.

The Lord will soon fulfill His plan

His footsteps now I hear;

His glorious frame I faintly see

Beginning to appear.

I’m longing for His presence blest

And dare not slothful be

While waiting for my Lord’s return

His own dear self to see.

My only hope—that He may come

And change my faith to sight;

There is no other joy on earth

Which gives my heart delight.

My heart is always with Himself

My eyes are heavenward

My lips would utter nothing else

Than meeting with my Lord.

The coming of the Lord draws nigh

His coming is for me;

His promise ever standeth firm

And soon fulfilled I’ll see.

My Savior

all Thy holy words

Can never doubted be;

With them encouraged day by day

I’m faithful unto Thee.

Oh

may Thy glory soon appear

The foe be overthrown;

Thy promises be realized

And we brought to Thy throne.

Thy saving arm a refuge is

My Savior God

to me;

Thou as the Father keepeth them

Who put their trust in Thee.

The sheep and shepherd are of one

The head and body same;

None e’er can pluck from out Thy hand

The child who trusts Thy Name.

A thousand hands won’t hinder me

Nor will ten thousand eyes;

The thorns upon the road but help

Me onward to the prize.

Arise

my spirit and my heart

And let the world go by;

The Lord of life will take me soon

To be with Him on high.

Thou healing sun! Thou hope of man!

I really love Thy ray.

Oh

righteous Lord! oh

glorious King!

I bow to Thee and pray:

Oh

may Thou soon ascend Thy throne

And quickly show Thy face;

Thy heav’nly kingdom may Thou found

And grant all men Thy grace.

The truth should triumph and be king

And freedom should be queen;

But falsehood

which has rampant run

Head of the world be seen.

We ask Thee

Truth

to quickly come

And bring Thy light from heav’n;

The foe be crushed and all Thy sons

Into Thy bosom giv’n.
