The New Church Hymnal ‎#192

192. He Is Coming Again

1 Lift up your heads, pilgrims a-weary!
See day's approach now crimson the sky;
Night shadows flee, and your Beloved,
Awaited with longing, at last draweth nigh.

Refrain:
He is coming again, He is coming again,
The very same Jesus, rejected of men;
He is coming again, He is coming again,
With pow'r and great glory, He is coming again!

2 Dark was the night sin warred against us!
Heavy the load of sorrow we bore;
But now we see signs of His coming
Our hearts glow within us, joy's cup runneth o'er! [Refrain]

3 O blessed hope! O blissful promise!
Filling our hearts with rapture divine;
O day of days! Hail Thy appearing!
Thy transcendent glory forever shall shine! [Refrain]

4 Even so, come, precious Lord Jesus!
Creation waits redemption to see;
Caught up in clouds, soon we shall meet Thee
O blessed assurance, forever with Thee! [Refrain]
