1 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
We hear Thy gentle voice;
We would be Thine forever,
And in Thy love rejoice.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
We are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
We hear Thy gentle voice.

2 We are coming, blessed Saviour,
Our Father's house we see--
A glorious mansion ever
For children young as we.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
We are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
Our Father's house we see.

3 We are coming blessed Saviour,
To crown our Jesus King,
And then with angels ever,
His praises we will sing.

Chorus:
We are coming, we are coming,
We are coming, blessed Saviour,
We are coming, we are coming,
To crown our Jesus King.
