Author: Anon. Hymnal: Choice Hymns of the Faith #394 (1944) Hymnal Title: Choice Hymns of the Faith First Line: He is coming, coming for us Lyrics: 1 He is coming, coming for us; Soon we’ll see His light afar, On the dark horizon rising, As the Bright and Morning Star, Cheering many a waking watcher,— As the star whose kindly ray Heralds the approaching morning Just before the break of day. Oh! what joy as night hangs round us ‘Tis to think of morning’s ray; Sweet to know He’s coming for us, Just before the break of day. 2 He is coming, coming for us; Soon we’ll hear His voice on high; Dead and living, rising, changing, In the twinkling of an eye Shall be caught up all together For the meeting in the air; With a shout the Lord, descending, Shall Himself await us there. Oh! what joy that great foregath’ring, Trysted meeting in the air; Sweet to know He’s coming for us, Calling us to join Him there. 3 He is coming—oh! how solemn When the Judge’s voice is heard, And in His own light He shows us Ev’ry tho’t and act and word! Deeds of merit as we tho’t them, He will show us were but sin; Little acts we had forgotten, He will tell us were for Him. Oh! what joy when He imputeth Righteousness instead of sin; Sweet to take the linen garments, All a gift, and all from Him. 4 He is coming as the Bridegroom, Coming to unfold at last The great secret of His purpose, mystery of ages past; And the Bride, to her is granted In His beauty now to shine, As in rapture she exclaimeth, “I am His, and He is mine.” Oh! what joy that marriage union, Mystery of love divine; Sweet to sin, in all its fullness, “I am His, and He is mine.” Languages: English Tune Title: [He is coming, coming for us]

Person Name: Anon. Hymnal Title: Choice Hymns of the Faith Author of "He Is Coming for Us" in Choice Hymns of the Faith In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

S. J. Vail

1818 - 1883 Hymnal Title: Choice Hymns of the Faith Composer of "[He is coming, coming for us]" in Choice Hymns of the Faith In his youth Silas Jones Vail learned the hatter's trade at Danbury, Ct. While still a young man, he went to New York and took employment in the fashionable hat store of William H. Beebe. Later he established himself in business as a hatter at 118 Fulton Street, where he was for many years successful. But the conditions of trade changed, and he could not change with them. After his failure in 1869 or 1870 he devoted his entire time and attention to music. He was the writer of much popular music for use in churches and Sunday schools. Pieces of music entitled "Scatter Seeds of Kindness," "Gates Ajar," "Close to Thee," "We Shall Sleep, but not Forever," and "Nothing but Leaves" were known to all church attendants twenty years ago. Fanny Crosby, the blind authoress, wrote expressly for him many of the verses he set to music. --Vail, Henry H. (Henry Hobart). Genealogy of some of the Vail family descended from Jeremiah Vail at Salem, Mass., 1639, p. 234.
