Tell it to every kindred and nation, Tell it far and near; Earth’s darkest night will fade with the dawning, Jesus will soon appear.
Chorus: Hail Him the King of glory, Once the Lamb for sinners slain; Tell, tell the wondrous story of “Jesus comes to reign”
Nations again in strife And commotion, Warnings by the way; Signs in the heavens, Unerring omens, Herald the glorious day.
Chorus: Hail Him the King of glory, Once the Lamb for sinners slain; Tell, tell the wondrous story of “Jesus comes to reign”
Children of God look up with rejoicing; Shout and sing His praise; Blessed are they who, waiting and watching, Look for the dawning rays.
Chorus: Hail Him the King of glory, Once the Lamb for sinners slain; Tell, tell the wondrous story of “Jesus comes to reign”
Face to face with Christ my Savior, Face to face, what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?
Chorus: Face to Face shall I behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory I shall see Him by and by!
Only faintly now I see Him, With the darkening veil between, But a blessed day is coming, When His glory shall be seen.
Chorus: Face to Face shall I behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory I shall see Him by and by!
Face to face! Oh blissful moment! Face to face to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who loves me so
Chorus: Face to Face shall I behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory I shall see Him by and by!
Tis’ almost time for the Lord to come, I hear the people say; The stars of heaven are growing dim, It must be the breaking of the day.
Chorus: O it must be the breaking of the day! O it must be the breaking of the day! The night is almost gone, The day is coming on; O it must be the breaking of the day!
The signs foretold in the sun and moon, In earth and sea and sky, Aloud proclaim to all mankind, The coming of the Master draweth nigh.
Chorus: O it must be the breaking of the day! O it must be the breaking of the day! The night is almost gone, The day is coming on; O it must be the breaking of the day!
Go quickly out in the streets and lanes And in the broad high way, And call the maimed, the halt, and blind, To be ready for the breaking of the day.
Chorus: O it must be the breaking of the day! O it must be the breaking of the day! The night is almost gone, The day is coming on; O it must be the breaking of the day!
Lift up the trumpet, and loud let it ring; Jesus is coming again! Cheer up ye pilgrims, be joyful and sing; Jesus is coming again!
Chorus: Coming again, coming again, Jesus is coming again!
Echo it, hill tops; Proclaim it, ye plains: Jesus is coming again! Coming in glory, the Lamb that was slain; Jesus is coming again!
Chorus: Coming again, coming again, Jesus is coming again!
Nations are angry by this we do know Jesus is coming again! Knowledge increases; men run to and fro; Jesus is coming again!
Chorus: Coming again, coming again, Jesus is coming again!
Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! How heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own!
Awake my soul and sing of Him who died for thee; And hail Him as they matchless King through all eternity.
Crown Him the Lord of love! Behold His hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified;
No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wondering eye At mysteries so great.
Crown Him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime!
All hail! Redeemer, hail! For Thou hast died for me; Thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
