He’s Coming Again (Canaan Melodies #49)

A folksy hymn about waiting for Jesus to come again, and the glory that awaits His pilgrims at that time.

1 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.

Refrain
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.

2 The mossy old graves where the pilgrims sleep
Shall be opened as wide as before,
And the millions that sleep in the mighty deep
Shall live on this earth once more. 

3 There we’ll meet all our loved ones in Eden our home
Sweet songs of redemption we’ll sing;
From the north, from the south, all the ransomed shall come,
And worship our heavenly King.

4 Hallelujah, Amen! Hallelujah again!
In a little while we shall be there;
O, be faithful, be hopeful, the ransom’d shall come
And a crown of bright glory we’ll wear.
