36. Christ the Lord is coming to his loved ones once again

1 Christ the Lord is coming to his loved ones again,
Christ the Lord is coming and a King he shall reign;
Cry aloud, ye watchmen, cry aloud and say,
Hasten, O ye lost ones, seek him while you may.

Refrain:
Joy, joy, he is coming, wake the tuneful strain,
Coming in his glory o'er the world to reign

2 Christ the Lord is coming in his might and his pow'r,
Christ the Lord is coming, but we know not the hour;
Work and be ye faithful, hear the Spirit say,
Round the gospel standard rally while you may. [Refrain]

3 Christ the Lord is coming, and the time draweth nigh,
Christ the Lord is coming, in the clouds of the, sky;
Ye that on the mountains cry aloud and wander far away.
Un - to him that loves you gather while you may. [Refrain]
