16149. He's Coming Soon

1 O Chris­tian! have you heard it?
He’s com­ing soon;
Though thou­sands have deferred it,
He’s com­ing soon.
Let not thy heart grow wea­ry,
He’s com­ing soon;
Morn fol­lows mid­night drea­ry,
He’s com­ing soon.
Leave all earth’s sin­ful plea­sures,
He’s com­ing soon;
Lay up in Heav’n your trea­sures,
He’s com­ing soon.

2 Does now thy heart be­lieve it?
He’s com­ing soon;
Do you with joy re­ceive it?
He’s com­ing soon.
Prize not this world’s pos­sess­ions,
He’s com­ing soon;
Trust not to vain pro­fess­ions,
He’s com­ing soon.
Work on, with zeal in­creas­ing,
He’s com­ing soon;
Pray al­ways, without ceas­ing,
He’s com­ing soon.

3 O day of joy and glad­ness!
He’s com­ing soon;
O day of gloom and sad­ness!
He’s com­ing soon.
It may be night or morn­ing,
He’s com­ing soon;
Do not reject the warn­ing,
He’s com­ing soon.
Are you pre­pared to meet Him?
He’s com­ing soon;
Can you look up and greet Him?
He’s com­ing soon.
