Our Lord Is Coming Back Again

I have read how the Lord

When a babe in Beth­le­hem

In a hum­ble man­ger cra­dle was lain;

What He bore for a world which

His love would not con­demn

And I learned that He is com­ing back again.

He is com­ing back again

And o’er the uni­verse to reign;

He’s not com­ing back to die

But will take us home on high

Yes

our bless­èd Lord is com­ing back again.

I have read how He died

On the cross of Cal­va­ry

Where He shed His pre­cious blood

and was slain;

He who preached to the poor

and

Who made the blind to see

Told them He was sure­ly com­ing back again.

Then I read how the Lord

When the thorn crown pressed His brow

Asked for­giv­eness for the ev­il in men;

How He told His dis­ci­ples

That He must leave them now

But He pro­mised He was com­ing back again.
