He Is Coming

By J. I. Cameron

He is coming! He is coming! When the winter days appear, When the trees are gaunt and leafless At the closing of the year— When the snowflakes, softly falling O’er the earth, their mantle fling, Hark! the sound of voices calling: “He is coming! Christ our King!”
He is coming! He is coming! Though the night is wrapped in sleep, Yet the air is full of music, And the stars their watches keep; And the winds that murmur weirdly And the giant branches swing, Seem replete with voices calling: “He is coming! Christ our King!”
He is coming! He is coming! Yes, we feel it in our hearts; At the sound our pulses quiver, And the very life-blood starts. O, the time of mirth and gladness! O, the words that sweetly ring Through the vista of the ages: “He is coming! Christ our King!”
— Rev. J. I. Cameron.
