1 When the Savior went to Heaven,
To His home on high,
Left the promise to His children,
To return by and by;
His disciples thro’ the ages
Have believed that word;
They have thought upon His promise
And expect their Lord.

Refrain:
He is coming, Christ is coming,
He is coming from on high (hallelujah!)
He is coming, surely coming,
And the day is drawing nigh.

2 Jesus left this earth for Heaven,
That bright home above,
To the faithful ones is given
A sweet home filled with love;
Let us watch and wait with patience
That delightful hour,
When our Lord will come from glory
In His mighty power. [Refrain]

3 When He cometh, all the faithful
Will His face behold,
And the resurrection trumpet
Will the glad news unfold;
All the righteous ones will hear Him,
From their graves arise,
And be carried home to Heaven,
Far beyond the skies. [Refrain]
