Christ Is Coming (Childress)
Words:Lomax Childress, 1917
Music:Croatian tune.

He is coming back in glory, in the blest millennium time,
With the chanting angel chorus, and the golden harps sublime,
Through the blending blue in beauty will the heavenly host appear,
And the saints shall rise to meet Him, crying, Jesus Christ is here.

He is coming back in glory, then the dead in Christ shall rise,
In the splendor of His presence that will fill the earth and skies,
The dawning of that morning to the wondering earth will bring
The majesty, and sovereignty, of Christ the Lord, and King.

The towers of time shall crumble that were built upon the sand,
But every house of God's elect in majesty shall stand;
The rolling tide, the mighty deep, the overwhelming flood,
Shall leave no refuge for the soul except in Jesus' blood.

Oh, saints of God, be ready for adown the heavenly street,
The angels strew their garlands for the coming of His feet;
The tribulation time will pass, the darkness and the sorrow,
The bars of hell will break at last, for Christ will come tomorrow.
