Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal ‎#200

200. The Lord Is Coming

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.

Refrain:
The Lord is coming, let this be
The herald note of jubilee,
The herald note of jubilee.

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. [Refrain]

3 The Lord is coming, swift and sure
And all His judgements shall endure,
And none can hope to escape His wrath,
Who walk not in the narrow path. [Refrain]

4 This earth, with her ten thousand wrongs
Will soon be tuned to nobler songs;
Our praise shall then, in realms of light,
With all His universe unite. [Refrain]
