Lyrics
1. Lift up your heads,
pilgrims aweary,
See day’s approach
now crimson the sky;
Night shadows flee,
and your Belovèd,
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 power 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.
He is coming again,
He is coming again,
The very same Jesus,
rejected of men;
He is coming again,
He is coming again,
With power and great glory,
He is coming again!
3. O blessèd hope!
O blissful promise!
Filling our hearts
with rapture divine;
O day of days!
Hail Thy appearing!
Thy transcendent glory
forever shall shine.
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 power and great glory,
He is coming again!
4. Even so, come,
precious Lord Jesus;
Creation waits redemption to see;
Caught up in clouds,
soon we shall meet Thee;
O blessèd assurance,
forever with Thee!
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 power and great glory,
He is coming again!
