Our King Is Coming Back To Reign

Representative Text

1 Our king is coming back to reign,
Glory, hallelujah!
We’ll see His blessèd face again,
Glory, hallelujah!

Refrain:
Glory! glory! I’ll be there;
Rise to meet Him in the air;
And His kingdom I shall share,
Glory, hallelujah!

2 No more the Man of Sorrows, He,
Glory, hallelujah!
The world His majesty shall see,
Glory, hallelujah! [Refrain]

3 White robes of righteousness I’ll wear,
Glory, hallelujah!
To greet this coming king so fair,
Glory, hallelujah! [Refrain]

4 All sin and death shall flee away,
Glory, hallelujah!
The kings of earth shall homage pay,
Glory, hallelujah! [Refrain]

5 In His bright courts the blood-washed soul,
Glory, hallelujah!
His praise shall sing while ages roll,
Glory, hallelujah! [Refrain]
