The shadows of the night are flying swift away;
A stirring cry salutes the ear:
Jesus is coming soon.Refrain

It sweeps o’er land and sea;
With thousand voices strong
The chorus speeds along—
One word of hope and cheer:

Jesus is coming soon!By form and creed are millions bound,
But God hath sent the Word to loose the iron band—
Deliv’rance dawns with this glad sound:
Jesus is coming soon.Refrain

And from the sleep of death the slumb’ring nations wake;
We too shall mount the starry skies.

In glory then His saints will reign.

[1Th 4:16] Great God, What Do I See And Hear?
Great God, what do I see and hear?
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear,
On clouds of glory seated.
The trumpet sounds, the graves restore,
The dead which they contained before!
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.The dead in Christ shall first arise
At the last trumpet’s sounding.
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding.
No gloomy fears their souls dismay,
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing.
In woe they rise, but all their tears
And sighs are unavailing.
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before His throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.Great God, to Thee my spirit clings,
Thy boundless love declaring.
One wondrous sight my comfort brings,
The Judge my nature wearing.
Beneath His cross I view the day
When Heav’n and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Him.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Wrapped in sleep.For a while the wearied body
Lies with feet toward the morn;

Thenceforth nothing shall divide,
Waking up in Christ’s own likeness
Satisfied.O the beauty, O the gladness

Pass away!On that happy Easter morning
