Verse 1
Hark! hark! hear the glad tidings,
Soon, soon, Jesus will come,
Robed, robed, in honour and glory,
To gather His ransomed ones home:
Yes, yes, O yes!
To gather His ransomed ones home.
Verse 2
Joy, joy, sound it more loudly;
Sing, sing, glory to God;
Christ Jesus is quickly returning,
Publish the tidings abroad:
Yes, yea, O yes!
Publish the tidings abroad.
Verse 3
Now, now, through a glass darkly,
Shine, shine, visions to come;
Soon, soon, we shall behold Him,
Cloudless and bright in our home:
Yes, yes, O yes!
Cloudless and bright in our home.
Verse 4
Long, long, have we been waiting,
Who, who love His blest Name;
Now, now, we are delighting
Jesus is near to proclaim:
Yes, yes, O yes!
Jesus is near to proclaim.
Verse 5
Still, still, rest on the promise;
Cling, cling, fast to His Word;
Wait, wait, He will not tarry,
We'll patiently wait for the Lord:
Yes, yes, O yes!
We'll patiently wait for the Lord.
