Our Savior Is Coming

Author: James D. Vaughan; Flavil J. Hall Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Our Savior is coming, the saints to reward Refrain First Line: In that great day, O sinner, can you stand? Lyrics: 1 Our Savior is coming, the saints to reward, To give them sweet rest from all suffering and care; And all who obey Him and honor His word, He will take to that home He’s now gone to prepare. Refrain: In that great day, O sinner, can you stand? Be saved; why longer yet delay? And when Jesus shall come with the bright angel band, He’ll receive you in that day. 2 All the saints shall be changed, and the martyrs shall rise, They shall meet their Redeemer high up in the air; O how they will shout as they mount up the skies; In the first resurrection I’m longing to share. [Refrain] 3 But the wicked shall mourn and lament in that day, And call for the rocks and the mountains to fall, To hide them away from His presence for aye; O sinner, great terror thy heart shall appall. [Refrain] 4 Yes, the Savior is coming, and it won’t be long; O how can you meet Him in that dreadful day? The righteous shall join in a glad, happy song, The wicked be filled in that hour with dismay. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Our Savior is coming, the saints to reward] Text Sources: Perfect Praise by James D. Vaughan, George W. Bacon, et al. (Lawrenceburg: Tenn: James D. Vaughan, 1905)
