ADVENT OF THE LORD
‘Tis the moment we’ve a waited in which sorrow, pain and grief,
For the people God’s invited to His wedding now shall cease,
Only peace, God’s grace and solace over flows in our being;
For the Church is now awaiting to receive its blessed King.
CHORUS
OH the King is coming! The King is coming!
I can hear the trumpets sounding and His Face I’ll see;
Oh the King is coming! The King is coming!
Praise the Lord! He’s coming for me!
FINALE
The Lord is coming for me!
2
A great multitude of people that can’t be accounted for,
From all tribes, tongues, race and peoples clad with robes as white as snow,
Who are they? What have they come for? In their hands a palm they hold;
‘Tis the people of Christ Jesus, who await their King and Lord.
3
I can hear the Angels singing in the Kingdom up above,
A sweet melody is ringing sung in their celestial tongue;
On the earth there is choir that has joined the angel’s song,
They are singing hallelujah and await the Lamb of God.
