He's Coming By and By

1 There’s a precious promise in His holy word:
The Lord is coming by and by;
’Tis the sweetest promise mortal ever heard:
The Lord is coming by and by.

Refrain:
O, the Lord is coming by and by,
O, the Lord is coming by and by;
When the saints who sleep shall rise,
We shall meet Him in the skies,
O, the Lord is coming by and by

2 Oh, the dawning of that day is drawing near,
The Lord is coming by and by;
And the King in glory will in pow’r appear,
The Lord is coming by and by. [Refrain]

3 We shall hear the shout of triumph in the air,
The Lord is coming by and by;
And the sons of God will in His glory share,
The Lord is coming by and by. [Refrain]

4 And the dead in Christ shall then be called to life,
The Lord is coming by and by;
We shall all be changed, be free from sin and strife,
The Lord is coming by and by. [Refrain]
