How sweet are the tidings
that greet the pilgrim’s ear,
As he wanders in exile from home!
Soon, soon will the
Savior in glory appear,
And soon will the kingdom come.
He’s coming, coming,
coming soon I know,
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims
will to glory go,
When the Savior comes to reign.
The mossy old graves
where the pilgrims sleep
Shall open as wide as before,
And the millions that sleep
in the mighty deep
Shall live on this earth once more.
He’s coming, coming,
coming soon I know,
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims
will to glory go,
When the Savior comes to reign.
There we’ll meet ne’er
to part in our happy Eden home,
Sweet songs of redemption we’ll sing;
From the north, from the south,
all the ransomed shall come,
And worship our heav’nly King.
He’s coming, coming,
coming soon I know,
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims
will to glory go,
When the Savior comes to reign.
Hallelujah, Amen! hallelujah again!
Soon, if faithful, we all shall be there;
O, be watchful, be hopeful,
be joyful till then,
And a crown of bright glory we’ll wear.
He’s coming, coming,
coming soon I know,
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims
will to glory go,
When the Savior comes to reign.
