The Lord Our Savior Will Appear

lyricist: Anonymous, 1849
Composer: Christopher Tye, 1533

The Lord our Sav­ior will appear;

His day is nigh at hand;

The signs be­speak His com­ing near

And all may un­der­stand.

Behold

He comes! He comes to reign

On earth with all His saints;

Then Je­sus

Lamb of God once slain

Will end our long com­plaints.

The prince of dark­ness He will bind;

The hosts of hell o’er­throw;

And Sa­tan

in th’ab­yss con­fined

The pow­er of Christ shall know.

Then those who suf­fered for His name

Those who ob­eyed His word

Shall rise in glo­ry

and pro­claim

The good­ness of their Lord.

The won­ders of that hap­py age

What mor­tal can declare?

We view with joy the sac­red page

For we can read them there.
