Some Day the Lord Is Coming

Representative Text

1. Some day the Lord will come again,
When stars are back­ward rolled;
When men from val­ley, hill and plain
His glory shall be­hold.

Refrain

Then send the good news,
Tell it and sing it wher­ev­er you go;
Some day the Lord is com­ing again;
Then send the good news,
Shout it and sing it wher­ev­er you go.
Some day the Lord is com­ing again.

2. Some day the Lord will come again,
Not as He came be­fore;
But as a king with migh­ty train,
To say that time is o’er.

Refrain

3. Some day the Lord will come again,
When all the dead will rise;
And like an ar­my on the plain,
Will meet Him in the skies.

Refrain

4. Some day the Lord will come again,
Just when no one can tell;
What would it bring you, joy or pain,
If He should come to­day?

Refrain
