1 He has gone out of sight, our joy and light,
But O hark to the rest of the story!
He is coming again! O tell it to men!
“This same Jesus” is coming in glory!

Refrain:
“This same Jesus” is coming in glory,
In glory, in glory!
The heavens will rend, and He will descend,
With the saints and the angels in glory.

2 O the Bride that He sought, the Church that He bought,
Tho’ we now see her scorned and derided;
Will be crowned with her Head, the living and dead,
Crowned with Jesus in whom she confided. [Refrain]

3 And the kingdom to come, will quickly be won,
Not by men or thro’ human endeavor,
But when Christ shall return, His anger will burn,
And destroy Satan’s power forever. [Refrain]
