The Coming of the Kingdom Draweth Near!

There’s a glo­ri­ous king­dom wait­ing

In the land be­yond the sky

Where the saints have all been ga­ther­ing

Year by year.

And the days are swift­ly pass­ing

That will bring the king­dom nigh

For the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

Oh

the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

Oh

the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near;

Be thou rea­dy

O my soul

For the trum­pet soon may roll

And the King in His glo­ry shall ap­pear!

’Tis the hope of yon­der king­dom

And the glo­ry there pre­pared

And the look­ing for the Sav­ior to ap­pear;

That de­liv­ers us from bond­age

To the world that once en­snared

For the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

With the com­ing of the king­dom

We shall see our bless­èd Lord

For the King be­fore the king­dom

Must ap­pear;

Hallelujah to His name

Who re­deemed us by His blood!

For the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!

Oh

the world is grow­ing wea­ry

It has wait­ed now so long

And the hearts of men are fail­ing

Them for fear;

Let us tell them of the king­dom

Let us cheer them with the song

That the com­ing of the king­dom draw­eth near!
