1. Christ the Lord is coming, for the saints awaiting,
They’ll be found in glory with Him in the air,
All the dead in Christ will also be there chanting,
‘Hallelujah, glory to His Name for e’er’
CHORUS
Christ is coming soon, yes, sooner than you think,
He is coming soon, let’s all be ready now;
We shall all be changed in a moment or a wink,
And be gathered into New Jerusalem above.
2. Washed by precious blood of Jesus Christ their Saviour,
Purified and built by holy Word divine,
Led by Holy Spirit, quickened by His power,
See them wrap with glory and in radiance shine.
3. Purer than the gold doth shine their faith and goodness,
Whiter than snow, how holy they appear!
Spotless are their garments, bright with godliness,
What a glorious Church to meet Him in the air!
4. They have fought the good fight, they have run their life’s race,
Never did they waver in the narrow way;
Guided by His presence, strengthen by His grace,
Blameless are they, waiting for the glorious day
5. Are you saved from sin and are you cleansed from all sin,
Baptized in the water, filled with holy fire?
Do you please Him daily, hating earthly gain,
Serving Him with all your heart as His joint-heir?
