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 op'ning 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  O the joy to see thee reigning, Thee, my own beloved Lord! Ev'ry 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.
