1
The Lord is coming! let this be
The herald note of jubilee;
And when we meet, and when we part
The salutation from the heart.

2
The Lord is coming! sound it forth,
From east to west, from south to north;
Speed on! speed on the tidings glad,
That none who love Him may be sad.

3
The Lord is coming! saints, rejoice!
We soon shall hear His glorious voice,
Majestic, uttered from afar,
As on He hastes His conquering car.

4
The Lord is coming! vengeful, dire,
Are all His judgments and His ire,
And none can hope to escape His wrath,
Who walk not in the narrow path.
