14946. He Is Coming By And By

1 All our trials will be over when our Lord shall come;
He is coming by and by;
All our pilgrimage will cease when we arrive at home,
He is coming by and by.

Refrain:
He may come at the midnight or the morning,
He may come at the brightness of the noon;
We will watch, we will pray,
We will labor every day,
For we know He is coming very soon.

2 How our hearts will be made happy when we see His face;
He is coming by and by;
And the theme of all our praise will be redeeming grace,
He is coming by and by. [Refrain]

3 Not as sacrifice for sinners will He come again;
He is coming by and by;
But as King of kings and Lord of lords He comes to reign,
He is coming by and by. [Refrain]
