The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16971

16971. The Lord Is Coming! Seas, Retire!

1. The Lord is com­ing! seas, retire!
Ye mount­ains, melt to liq­uid fire!
Ye oceans, cease to ebb and flow!
His state­ly foot­steps ye should know.

2. The Lord is com­ing! Who shall stand?
Who shall be found at His right hand?
He with the right­eous garment on
Which Christ our glor­ious king hath won.

3. The Lord is coming! watch and pray!
So shalt thou hast­en that glad day;
So shalt thou then es­cape the snare,
And Christ’s eter­nal glo­ry share.
