Jesus is coming again!

Coming again, coming again,
Jesus is coming again!
Jesus is coming again!

Jesus is coming again!
Verse 3
Sound it, old ocean, in each mighty wave:
Jesus is coming again!
Break on the sands of the shores that ye lave;

Heavings of earth, tell the vast, wondering throng:

Knowledge increases; men run to and fro;
Jesus is coming again!
