1.    The promise of His coming will comeand tarry not;
       Hasten Thy appearing-oh, dear Lord!
       His chosen ones He’ll gather- who for His kingdom sought;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!

                            CHORUS
       Lift, up your heads! Redemption’s drawing nigh,
       Lift, lift your heads! And for his coming cry,
       He’s coming back for His faithful Bride- Her chief joy’s all in Him,
       Ever wed together in the New Jerusalem.

2.    Once blinded from His kingdom- but now our eyes can see;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!
       By word of truth begotten- our souls from sunset free;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!

3.    We’re buried with Christ Jesus- to old life weare dead;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!
       Our limbs were tolls for Satan- but now serve Christ instead;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!

4.    Now risen by His Spirit- His power from above;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!
       New creatures in Christ Jesus- constrained by His great love;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!

5.    As members of His body- we in Him fully grow;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!
       Henceforth no more as children- but as His Bride we know;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!

6.    With first fruits if His spirit- we in ourselves dog roan;
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!
       Redemption of this body- caught up, His Bride His own!
       Hasten Thy appearing- oh, dear Lord!
