16037. Hold The Faith, The Lord Is Coming

1 Look, my brethren, see the tokens
O’er all the earth abroad,
All that holy seers have spoken
In the Word of God.

Refrain:
Hold the faith, the Lord is coming!
Joy, the kingdom’s near!
Let your lamps be trimmed and burning,
Christ will soon appear!

2 Swift the sands of time are running,
Day of doom draws near;
Soon with all His angels coming,
Throne and Judge appear. [Refrain]

3 Long ’mid scoffs and jeers we’ve waited,
Mingling joy with tears:
For the truth despised and hated,
Soon the crown we’ll wear. [Refrain]

4 Then redemption’s wondrous story
Is forever told,
In God’s kingdom filled with glory,
On its streets of gold. [Refrain]
