This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

It may be at morn as the day we are greeting;

It may be the time when the saints all are meeting;

But one thing we know, for the Spirit bears witness,

That Jesus will come very soon!

 

O Lord Jesus, Amen!

The church soon will see Thee again!

"Thou art coming! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Amen!

Hallelujah, Amen!"

 
 2 

The days hasten by — there's no time for delaying;

So grasping each moment by watching and praying

And in everything giving thanks and rejoicing,

We'll welcome our Lord's return.

 

O Lord Jesus, Amen!

The church soon will see Thee again!

"Thou art coming! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Amen!

Hallelujah, Amen!"

 
 3 

An instant, a twinkling, and Jesus descending

Will come for His saints in His glory transcending.

He'll come as the Bridegroom — as such we'll behold Him —

To take to Himself His Bride!

 

O Lord Jesus, Amen!

The church soon will see Thee again!

"Thou art coming! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Amen!

Hallelujah, Amen!"

 
 4 

What joy, what delight, when we finally meet Him!

The One whom we love — O what rapture to greet Him!

Our Lord and our life, our Beloved, our Bridegroom

Will take to Himself His Bride!

 

O Lord Jesus, Amen!

The church soon will see Thee again!

"Thou art coming! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Amen!

Hallelujah, Amen!"
