There was One came to die
in the sinner’s stead,
Who the fullness of grace
brought to view;
He is coming again,
Judge of quick and dead,
And I love His appearing,
don’t you?
I love His appearing,
I do, (don’t you?)
The glad day is nearing, ’tis true;
He will take us on high
Where the saints cannot die;
I love His appearing,
don’t you?
Then the children of light
who in Jesus sleep,
Will awake, by His word formed anew;
O this hope in my heart
groweth strong and deep,
And I long to be like Him,
don’t you?
I love His appearing,
I do, (don’t you?)
The glad day is nearing, ’tis true;
He will take us on high
Where the saints cannot die;
I love His appearing,
don’t you?
All creation has groaned
in the thralls of pain,
While the faithful, the valiant and true;
Cry, “O merciful Christ!
take Thy pow’r and reign,”
For they look for His kingdom,
don’t you?
I love His appearing,
I do, (don’t you?)
The glad day is nearing, ’tis true;
He will take us on high
Where the saints cannot die;
I love His appearing,
don’t you?
Then the heavens shall melt
at their Maker’s voice,
And the earth shall
be fashioned anew;
At the glorious tho’t
how the saints rejoice!
For they know He is coming,
don’t you?
I love His appearing,
I do, (don’t you?)
The glad day is nearing, ’tis true;
He will take us on high
Where the saints cannot die;
I love His appearing,
don’t you?
