14991. The King May Come Today

1 He is coming! He is coming!
Shout aloud this glad refrain;
Send the cry to every city,
To the valleys, hills and plain;
He is coming! He is coming!
Have you never read nor heard?
He will gather all His people,
As He promised in His word.

Refrain:
He is coming! He is coming!
Pass the news along the way.
Be ye ready, watching, waiting,
For the King may come today.

2 He is coming! He is coming!
Pass the joyful news along;
All the souls redeemed in Jesus,
Sing aloud redemption’s song;
He is coming! He is coming!
Are your lamps all trimmed and bright?
Oh, be ready, watching, working,
For the Lord may come tonight. [Refrain]

3 He is coming! He is coming!
Lift your heart in faith and pray;
Soon the night of sin and darkness
Shall forever pass away;
He is coming! Are you ready?
Are you washed in Jesus’ blood?
We shall wear a crown of glory,
In the kingdom of our God. [Refrain]
