81. Christ Is Coming

1 Heirs of victory are we
Thro’ the Christ of Calvary;
Storms may beat and foes assail,
But His kingdom cannot fail.

Refrain:
Christ is coming, shout your praise,
Lo! the dawn of better days;
Christ is coming from on high,
Victory is very nigh,
Christ is coming from on high,
Victory is very nigh.

2 He who came will come again,
Raise your hopes, O sons of men;
We His kingdom’s dawn have seen,
What tho’ clouds may intervene. [Refrain]

3 His appearing draweth nigh,
Cease your doubtings, hush the sigh;
Our inheritance is sure,
Christ hath made His word secure. [Refrain]

4 Lo! He cometh, and shall reign,
We have not believed in vain;
In our hearts who speaks release
Brings from heav’n His reign of peace. [Refrain]
