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 .

Often I think 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 attune ;
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 morning when sin and sorrow
At thy Presence flee away ;
But our virgil’s nearly over ;
Hope of heaven ,oh , priceless boon !
In the east the glow appearing ,
Christ is coming- coming soon .
