Soon Jesus will come, for the daylight is dawning;
He’s coming to call all His ransomed ones home,
His voice may be heard in the night or the morning,
He surely is coming soon.
E’er long He will come, and the call will be given,
His people will meet Him in glory on high,
Be taken by Him from the earth to the heaven—
He surely is coming soon.
How bright is the prospect now lying before us,
Of seeing the One who once hung on the tree,
Of being with Him in His home in the glory—
He surely is coming soon.
All changed in a moment, transformed to His likeness,
We’ll see Him in glory, the glory divine,
When once in His presence we’ll never be parted—
He surely is coming soon.
The night of His absence is growing still darker,
The star of the morning will soon be in view,
Take courage, dear Christian, you soon will behold Him—
He surely is coming soon.
O Christian, be ready, be waiting and watching,
Have on the whole armor, the armor of God,
From the head to the feet may there no part be lacking—
He surely is coming soon.
Rejoice then ye saints, for the moment is nearing
When heaven and earth will be filled with His praise,
No sorrow, no crying, no pain and no dying,
He surely is coming soon.
