The King Is Coming In Glory

"When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads,

because your redemption is drawing near."

Luke 21:28

The Second Coming Of Christ

Jon McNaughton

The King is coming in glory

To catch His bride away,

It may be in the morning

It may be at midday,

At the even or midnight;

The trump will sound so clear,

The dead in Christ, and we that live,

His voice shall hear.

(Refrain)

The King is coming, hallelujah!

He's coming in the air,

The fig tree is budding,

The signs are everywhere,

The King is coming, hallelujah!

He's coming in the air,

He's coming, hallelujah!

To catch His bride away.

Behold! He cometh and leaping,

And skipping o'er the hills;

Like the young roe, like the young hart,

My soul with rapture thrills;

Thru the window He's looking,

Thru the lattice work is seen,

The winter's past, the rain is o'er,

The figs are green.

The King is coming,

"Be ready," To meet Him on that day;

With your heart right, with your robes white,

And in this holy way;

Like the lightning that flashes

In the twinkling of an eye,

Our Lord shall come to claim His own

He's drawing night.

The saints are looking ever upward

While journ'ing on their way.

He's coming, hallelujah!

To catch His bride away.

The saints are looking ever upward

While journ'ing on their way.

He's coming, hallelujah!

To catch His bride away.

"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven

with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel,

and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who

have departed this life in Christ will rise first.

Then we, the living ones who remain on the earth

shall be caught up along with the resurrected dead

in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always

through the eternity of the eternities we shall be with the Lord!

Therefore, comfort and encourage one another with these words."

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
