131. He is Surely Coming

1 Soon the night of gloom will vanish,
And the morning dawn appear;
When the Lord of glory cometh,
And His coming draweth near;
With an upward gaze we’re watching
For His coming back again;
And with rapture we shall meet Him,
Evermore with Him to reign.

Chorus:
Yes, our Lord is surely coming,
And with joy we’ll gladly meet Him,
And with rapture we shall see Him,
On that crowning day.

2 On that long expected hour,
When he cleaves the vaulted sky;
To immortal He will change us,
In the twinkling of an eye;
Then the graves of saints will open,
And “the dead in Christ” shall rise;
With the saints alive they’ll gather,
Meet the Savior in the skies. [Chorus]

3 When this mortal flesh shall vanish,
All immortal we shall be;
Rise to worlds of light and beauty,
Thro’out all eternity;
All the pow’rs of hell defeated,
Swallowed up in victory;
We shall reign with Him in glory,
Kings and priests forever be. [Chorus]
