Hymn 157
Thou art coming, O my Saviour
1. Thou art coming, O my Saviour,
Thou art coming, O my King,
In thy beauty all-resplendent,
In Thy glory all-transcendent;
Well may we rejoice and sing,
Coming! In the opening east
Herald brightness slowly swells;
Coming! O my glorious Priest,
Hear we not Thy golden bells?
2. Thou art coming, Thou art coming,
We shall meet Thee on thy way,
We shall see Thee, we shall know Thee
We shall bless Thee, we shall show Thee
All our hearts could never say,
What an anthem that will be
Ringing out our love to Thee
Pouring out our rapture sweet
At Thine own all-glorious feet!
3. Thou art coming; at Thy table
We are witnesses for this,
While remembering hearts Thou meetest
In communion clearest, sweetest,
Earnest of our coming bliss,
Showing not thy death alone
And Thy love exceeding great,
But Thy coming and Thy throne,
All for which we long and wait.
4. O the joy to see Thee reigning,
Thee, my own beloved Lord!
Every tongue Thy name confessing
Worship, honour, glory, blessing
Brought to Thee with glad accord,
Thee, my Master and my Friend,
Vindicated and enthroned,
Unto earth’s remotest end
Glorified, adored, and owned.
