CHRIST IS COMING, by                    
First Line: Christ is coming! We are waiting
Last Line: Christ is coming! Come, lord, come!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Christ is coming! We are waiting
'Mid the shadows dim;
Longing till the night's dark pinions
Fold their plumes to Him.
Waiting by each gate of sorrow,
Thinking of the glad tomorrow;
Standing 'neath His banner, keeping
Watch while all the world is sleeping.
Christ is coming! Come, Lord, come!

Christ is coming! In a moment
Shall the shout resound,
And the voice of heaven's archangel,
And God's trumpet sound;
Then the sleeping saints arisen,
Bursting from their earthly prison,
With the living upward soaring,
See their Lord with eyes adoring.
Christ is coming! Come, Lord, come!
