The Coming of the Lord
 
1. Hear the glorious proclamation, 
The glad tidings of salvation,
Hear the glorious proclamation, 
Of the Saviour near.

Refrain:
While a choir of angels, 
While a choir of angels,
While a choir of angels shall be chanting through the sky.
While a choir of angels, 
While a choir of angels,
While a choir of angels shall be chanting through the sky.
 
2. Hark the tidings onward rolling,
Jesus comes, the world controlling!
Hark! The tidings onward rolling,
Jesus comes to reign. 
(Refrain)
 
3. See the "sign" in heav'n appearing 
And the blazing chariot nearing,
See the "sign" in heav'n appearing, 
And the Saviour there. 
(Refrain)
 
4. See the earth in terror shaking, 
And the dead to life awaking,
See the earth in terror shaking, 
And the saints arise. 
(Refrain)
 
5. Now on wings of light ascending 
With a shining host attending,
Now on wings of light ascending, 
See them mount the skies. 
(Refrain)
 
6. See, the banner waves in glory, 
While ten thousand tell the story,
See, the banner waves in glory, 
And the saints are there. 
(Refrain)
 
7. They are saved from death forever, 
Praise to Him who did deliver,
They are saved from death forever, 
And to die no more. 
(Refrain)
