Thou art coming, O my Saviour!
Thou art coming, O my King!
Every tongue Thy name confessing,
Well may we rejoice and sing!
Thou art coming! Rays of glory
Through the veil Thy death has rent.
Gladden now our pilgrim pathway,
Glory from Thy presence sent.
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
We shall meet Thee on Thy way!
Thou art coming! We shall see Thee,
And be like Thee on that day:
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
Jesus, our belovèd Lord!
Oh, the joy to see Thee reigning,
Worshipped, glorified, adored.
Thou art coming! Not a shadow,
Not a mist, and not a tear,
Not a sin and not a sorrow,
On that sunrise grand and clear:
Thou art coming! Jesus, Saviour,
Nothing else seems worth a thought;
Oh, how marvellous the glory
And the bliss Thy pain hath bought.
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
We shall meet Thee on Thy way!
Thou art coming! We shall see Thee,
And be like Thee on that day:
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
Jesus, our belovèd Lord!
Oh, the joy to see Thee reigning,
Worshipped, glorified, adored.
Thou art coming! We are waiting
With a “hope” that cannot fail,
Asking not the day or hour,
Anchored safe within the veil.
Thou art coming! At Thy table
We are witnesses for this,
As we meet Thee in communion,
Earnest of our coming bliss.
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
We shall meet Thee on Thy way!
Thou art coming! We shall see Thee,
And be like Thee on that day:
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
Jesus, our belovèd Lord!
Oh, the joy to see Thee reigning,
Worshipped, glorified, adored.
---Alternative verses---
Thou art coming, O my Saviour!
Coming, God’s anointed King!
Every tongue Thy name confessing,
Well may we rejoice and sing!
Thou art coming! Rays of glory
Through the veil Thy death has rent.
Gladden now our pilgrim pathway,
Glory from Thy presence sent.
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
We shall meet Thee on Thy way!
Thou art coming! We shall see Thee,
And be like Thee on that day:
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
Jesus, our belovèd Lord!
Oh, the joy to see Thee reigning,
Worshipped, glorified, adored.
Thou art coming! Not a shadow,
Not a mist, and not a tear,
Not a sin and not a sorrow,
On that sunrise grand and clear:
Thou art coming! Blessèd Saviour,
Nothing else seems worth a thought;
Oh, how marvellous the glory
And the bliss Thy pain hath bought.
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
We shall meet Thee on Thy way!
Thou art coming! We shall see Thee,
And be like Thee on that day:
Thou art coming! Thou art coming!
Jesus, our belovèd Lord!
Oh, the joy to see Thee reigning,
Worshipped, glorified, adored.
