He's coming once again,

by F. E. Belden (1858–1945)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 191 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

He's coming once again, To set His people free; That where He is, in glory bright, His saints may also be. Then lift the drooping head, Look up, rejoice and sing; He comes, in majesty sublime, Salvation's glorious King!

Verse 2

The earth shall quake with fear, The heavens shall flee away; And where shall guilty man appear In that tremendous day? No refuge then is nigh, No shelter from the blast; The night of vengeance veils the sky When mercy's day is past.

Verse 3

His eyes of living flame The wicked shall devour; No tongue will lightly speak the name Of Jesus in that hour. No scorn, no words of hate For His meek followers then; But prayers and tears that come too late Will mark earth's mighty men.
