As lightning flashes from the east
Jesus is coming!
And shineth even to the west
Jesus is coming!
The signs around us multiply
Christ will come from heaven on high.
Weary Christian, don't despair
You will meet Him in the air!
Jesus is coming, better be ready
Maybe at noon or the midnight hour.
Jesus is coming in great glory
Everyone then will behold His power!
Keep every lamplight burning brightly
Watch for His coming draweth nigh.
Jesus is coming, better be ready,
Jesus is coming: look to the sky.
The Lord's preparing a home on high
Jesus is coming!
And we may see Him before we die
Jesus is coming!
When we shall hear the trumpet sound
Calling us to higher ground
We will then be caught away
On that resurrection day!!
Jesus is coming, better be ready
Maybe at noon or the midnight hour.
Jesus is coming in great glory
Everyone then will behold His power!
Keep every lamplight burning brightly
Watch for His coming draweth nigh.
Jesus is coming, better be ready
Jesus is coming: look to the sky.
Jesus is coming, better be ready
Jesus is coming, better be ready: look to the sky!!
Better be ready!
