He's Coming Soon

By Amos E. Flint

WITH robe of flame He's coming soon, In splendor brighter far than noon, And all the earth with fatal sweep He comes with flaming sword to reap.

'Twill be a day of dread and wrath To those not in the narrow path, For Justice' stern, avenging sword Will slay the mocker of God's Word.

Each setting sun brings near the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away; When mountains, seas, and hills retire 'Mid darkness, tempest, smoke, and fire.

He's coming soon! We now descry That our redemption draweth nigh. All ye His people, now rejoice, For soon we'll hear His welcome voice.

When the last trumpet notes shall sound, Unnumbered millions, captive bound, From buried dust of years shall rise To meet their Lord descend the skies.

He's coming soon! Go sound it forth From east to west, from south to north, That all who will may flee sin's snare, And Christ's eternal glory share.

He's coming soon, throned on a cloud, Confounding all the vile and proud; But to the saints who've waited long, He brings salvation, joy, and song.

The sinners then, with guilty fears, Dismayed shall cry with burning tears; For they shall find reserved in store The tares, a hundredfold they bore.

He's coming soon, our glorious Lord — The promise shines within His Word; And earth with her vast flood of wrongs Will then be tuned to joyful songs.

He's coming soon, and no delay, To usher in that joyful day. Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, For your redemption draweth nigh.
