The Lord Is Coming (Warner)

lyricist: Daniel Warner, 1885
Composer: H. R. Jeffrey

Are you rea­dy

wait­ing for the Lord?

See

the signs pro­claim Him near

In the aw­ful thun­ders of His word

Now His com­ing steps we hear.

Thou art com­ing

O my Sav­ior

Who can stand Thy flam­ing light?

How the burn­ing of Thy Spir­it

Sweeps away the works of night;

Quickly com­ing in Thy glo­ry

With Thy bright an­gel­ic train

We shall see Thee in Thy beau­ty

And for­ev­er with Thee reign.

Now are ma­ny run­ning to and fro

Spreading ho­li­ness around

And the ev­en­ing light be­gins to glow

Soon we’ll hear the trum­pet’s sound.

Hark! the so­lemn warn­ing un­to all

Judgment’s com­ing

oh

how soon;

Flee

O man

at mer­cy’s fi­nal call

Heaven trem­bles at your doom.

As the light­ning flash­es east and west

Comes the Lord in flam­ing fire;

Oh

what glo­ry thrills each ho­ly breast!

Sinners melt be­neath His ire.

Christ is com­ing

oh

the heav’n­ly sight!

Our be­lov­èd can’t de­lay

For His bride is robed in snowy white

Ready for the mar­riage day.
