Jesus is Coming

By John R. Rice

Lyrics

1. Come, dear Lord Jesus, for long we've been watching;
God's children are homesick for Heaven our home.
Come then, Lord Jesus, come quickly and take us;
The wedding feast waits when the Bridegroom shall come.
Chorus
Jesus is coming, is coming, is coming!
It may be tomorrow, it may be today.
May be the trumpet sound, may be the angel shout,
Then "Come up higher," the Savior will say!
2. Midnight approaches, wise virgins are ready;
With oil in our lamp, may our wicks be trimmed too.
"Ho! cometh the Bridegroom, go ye out to meet Him!"
Oh, glad, blest announcement we hope to hear soon.
3. Night when we sleep He may take one and leave one,
Or day, those we work with be left when we're gone.
Witness today then, and turn men to Jesus,
Soon passes the season for winning our own.
4. Glad resurrection, O happy reunion
When we shall be changed in a moment of time;
Meet all our loved ones, redeemed of all ages,
And, oh, what glad greetings for mine and for thine!
