The Coming of the Lord

1HEAR the glorious proclamation,
The glad tidings of salvation,
Hear the glorious proclamation,
Of the Saviour near.
While the choir of angels,
While the choir of angels,
While the choir of angels,
Shall be chanting through the sky.

2Hark the tidings onward rolling,
Jesus comes, the world controlling!
Hark! The tidings onward rolling,
Jesus comes to reign.

3See the "sign" in heaven appearing,
And the blazing chariot nearing,
See the "sign" in heaven appearing,
And the Saviour there.

4See the earth in terror shaking,
And the dead to life awaking,
See the earth in terror shaking,
And the saints arise.

5Now on wings of light ascending
With a shining host attending,
Now on wings of light ascending,
See them mount the skies.

6See, the banner waves in glory,
While ten thousand tell the story,
See, the banner waves in glory,
And the saints are there.

7They are saved from death forever,
Praise to him who did deliver,
They are saved from death for ever,
And to die no more.
