The Lord is coming, glad and free

1 The Lord is coming! glad and free
Proclaim the note of jubilee.
Arouse, ye nations, countless throng,
Ring out the tidings loud and long.

2 This earth, with her ten thousand wrongs,
Will soon be tuned to nobler songs;
Our praise shall then, in realms of light,
With all his universe unite.

3 the Lord is coming! herald, cry;
For our redemption draweth nigh:
The great glad day of sin's eclipse
Is trembling on heaven's finger-tips.

4 The trumpet sounds o'er land and sea,
And heaven rolls back the melody;
The sleeping nations of the dead
Awake, and leave their earth-dark bed.

5 The Lord, our Saviour, Prince of heaven,
Descends 'mid clouds all thunder riven;
Look up, ye saints, behold your King,
He comes deliverance to bring.
