15996. Christ Is Coming Again

1 I have read how the Lord
Was a babe in Bethlehem,
How they found no room for Him in the inn;
I have read how He walked
Here among the sons of men,
And I’m told that He’s coming back again.

Refrain:
He is coming back again,
He is coming back again,
He is coming, not to die,
But to take us home on high;
Yes, our blessed Lord is coming back again.

2 I have read how He walked
On the sea of Galilee,
How He raised the widow’s son down in Nain;
I have read how the poor
Did rejoice the Christ to see,
And I’m told that He’s coming back again. [Refrain]

3 I have read how He stood
With His feet on Olive’s brow,
How He blest the sad disciples again;
I have read how He said
"I am going to leave you now,"
And I’m told that He’s coming back again. [Refrain]
