He's Coming Some Day

Representative Text

1 O Jesus, my Jesus, is coming some day,
The heavens will open, O why bid Him stay?
His bride hath made ready, her garments are white,
Arrayed in fine linen so pure and so bright.

Refrain:
O glory! He’s coming, yes coming some day,
To gather His loved ones and take them away;
He’s coming, He’s coming, He’s coming some day,
My Savior is coming for me.

2 Thrice blessed are ye who are bidden to feast,
When Jesus shall name you a king and a priest,;
At that feast anew with His bride He’ll reveal,
The new wine of heaven, the marriage to seal. [Refrain]

3 If this hope you’ve treasured, like Him thou shalt be,
All pure and all holy, yes, even as He;
An heir to a kingdom, a crown and a throne,
With riches in glory forever thine own. [Refrain]

4 O friends, are you ready this moment to stand,
With boldness before Him a sanctified band?
The blood is your plea, are you happy and free,
Made white in the fountain ‘neath Calvary’s tree? [Refrain]
