The King is Coming
Updated: Nov 25, 2021
The marketplace is empty No more traffic in the streets All the builders' tools are silent No more time to harvest wheat Busy housewives cease their labors In the courtroom no debate Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate
O the King is coming The King is coming I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming Praise God, He's coming for me
Happy faces line the hallways Those whose lives have been redeemed Broken homes that He has mended Those from prison He has freed Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow Who were crippled, broken, ruined Clad in garments white as snow
O the King is coming The King is coming I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming Praise God, He's coming for me
I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong Regal robes are now unfolding Heaven's grandstand's all in place Heaven's choir now assembled Start to sing "Amazing Grace"
O the King is coming The King is coming I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming Praise God, He's coming for me
