The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#881

881. The Saviour comes his advent's nigh

1 The Saviour comes, his advent's nigh;
He soon will rend the azure sky,
Descending swift to earth again,
When God shall dwell indeed with men.

2 Saints lift up your heads; that day is near
When your Redeemer shall appear,
To take the kingdom and the crown,
And make his ransomed church his own.

3 Day promised long, now soon to dawn,
When sin's dark night of death is gone!
Come quickly, Lord, we long to see
That morning of eternity.

4 And while we wait, we'll toil and pray,
Still watching for that glorious day
When with the voice of trumpet loud
The Judge appears on yonder cloud.
