The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#879

879. The Lord is coming! let this be

1 The Lord is coming! let this be
The herald note of jubilee;
And when we meet, and when we part,
The salutation from the heart.

2 The Lord is coming! sound it forth,
From East to West, from South to North;
Speed on! speed on the tidings glad,
That none who love him may be sad.

3 The Lord is coming! saints, rejoice!
We soon shall hear his glorious voice,
Majestic, uttered from afar,
As on he hastes his conquering car.

4 The Lord is coming! vengeful, dire,
Are all his judgments and his ire,
And none can hope to escape his wrath,
Who walk not in the narrow path.
