17. He Comes! He Comes! the Bridegroom Comes
C.M.D.
1
He comes! He comes! the Bridegroom comes!
The "Morning Star" appears;
The cloudless morning sweetly dawns;
Saints, quit this vale of tears;
Your absent Lord no longer mourn;
He comes! He comes! rise, happy saints,
2
He comes! He comes! the Son of Man!
"The King of kings, and Lord of lords"!
All knees before Him bow.
He comes! His Israel in the land
He comes! He comes! to clear away
3
He comes! He comes! the Bridegroom comes!
O sinner, hear the sound;
Accept Him now, if you among
His chosen would be found;
Still mercy’s offered — costless — free —
He comes! He comes! oh, linger not,
Come while ’tis called "today."
