LYRICS:

JESUS IS COMING AGAIN, by John Peterson

1 Marvelous message we bring,
Glorious carol we sing,
Wonderful word of the King,
Jesus is coming again!

Chorus
Coming again, Coming again,
May be morning, may be noon,
May be evening and may be soon!
Coming again, Coming again;
O what a wonderful day it will be –
Jesus is coming again!

2 Forest and flower exclaim,
Mountain and meadow the same,
All earth and heaven proclaim,
Jesus is coming again!

[Chorus]

3 Standing before Him at last,
Trial and trouble all past,
Crowns at His feet we will cast,
Jesus is coming again!

[Chorus]

WHEN HE SHALL COME, by Almeda Pearce

1 When He shall come, resplendent in His glory, 
To take His own from out this vale of night, 
O may I know the joy at His appearing
Only at morn to walk with Him in white! 

2 When I shall stand within the court of Heaven
Where white-robed pilgrims pass before my sight 
Earth’s martyred saints and bloodwashed overcomers 
These then are they who walk with Him in white! 

3 When He shall call, from earth’s remotest corners, 
All who have stood triumphant in His might,
O to be worthy then to stand beside them,
And in that morn to walk with Him in white! 

WE SHALL SEE HIS LOVELY FACE, by Norman J. Clayton

1 We shall see His lovely face some bright golden morning,
When the clouds have rifted and the shades have flown;
Sorrow will be turned to joy, heartaches gone forever;
No more night, only light, when we see His face.

2 God shall wipe away all tears some bright golden morning,
When the journey’s ended, and the course is run;
No more crying, pain or death in that home of gladness,
Trials cease, all is peace, when we see His face.

3 We shall meet to part no more, some bright golden morning,
At the gates of glory where our loved ones stand;
Songs of vict’ry fill the skies in that hour of greeting,
Endless days, endless praise, when we see His face.
