Coming Soon

Coming soon !
In the glow of early morning ,
In the solemn hush of night ,
Down from heaven’s open portals ,
Steals a messenger of light ;
Whispering sweetly to my spirit ,
While the hosts of heaven sing !
This the wondrous thrilling story ,
Christ is coming , Christ my King .

Oft me thinks I hear His footsteps ,
Stealing down the paths of time ;
And the future dark with shadows,
Brightens with the hope sublime ,
Sound the soul-inspiring anthem
Angel hosts , your harps attume ;
Earth’s long night is almost over ,
Christ is coming – coming soon .

Long we’ve waited , blest Redeemer ,
Waited for the first bright ray
Of the morn when sin and sorrow
At thy Presence flee away ;
But our vigil’s nearly over ;
Hope of heaven , oh , priceless boon !
In the east the glow appearing .
Christ is coming –coming soon .
