Author: Thoro Harris Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Ordinary Time Week 28 First Line: In these, the closing days of time Refrain First Line: He's coming soon, he's coming soon Lyrics: 1. In these, the closing days of time,
What joy the glorious hope affords,
That soon, oh, wondrous truth sublime!
He shall reign, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Refrain:
He’s coming soon, he’s coming soon;
With joy we welcome his returning;
It may be morn, it may be night or noon;
We know he’s coming soon.
2. The signs around in earth and air,
Or painted on the starlit sky,
God’s faithful witnesses declare
That the coming of the Savior’s drawing nigh. [Refrain]
3. The dead in Christ who ’neath us lie,
In countless numbers, all shall rise,
When through the portals of the sky,
He shall come to prepare our paradise. [Refrain]
4. And we who, living, yet remain,
Caught up, shall meet our faithful Lord;
This hope we cherish not in vain,
But we comfort one another by this word. [Refrain]
