9874. He Is Coming Soon

1 Have you heard the story of the Lamb once slain?
He is coming soon, He is coming soon;
Christ the King of Glory, o’er the earth to reign,
And He’s coming soon, surely coming soon.

Refrain:
Go and tell the story of His love,
He is coming from His home above.
Coming back His wonderful love to prove;
Christ is coming soon, surely coming soon.

2 ’Tis the sweetest story ever mortal heard,
He is coming soon, surely coming soon.
Cheering is the promise in His precious Word,
He is coming soon, surely coming soon. [Refrain]

3 I am watching for Him every day and hour,
For He’s coming soon, surely coming soon;
No more as a baby, but in kingly power—
Christ is coming soon, surely coming soon. [Refrain]

4 There will be no sorrow, there will be no tears,
When the Savior comes, and He’s coming soon;
O’er the earth our king will reign a thousand years,
O prepare for Him, for He’s coming soon. [Refrain]

5 Be prepared to meet Him, robed in garments white,
He is coming soon, surely coming soon;
If you are not ready, seek the Lord tonight,
For He’s coming soon, surely coming soon. [Refrain]

6 We shall rise to meet Him, with our loved ones there;
He is coming soon, surely coming soon;
When we hear the trumpet sounding in the air,
And it won’t be long, He is coming soon. [Refrain]
