Music by
Charles H. Gabriel (1900)
Tune
MY JESUS · 8.8.8.8.D
Scripture
Matthew 24:30
Verse 1
Don't you see my Jesus coming,
See Him come in yonder cloud?
With ten thousand angels round Him,
How they do my Jesus crowd!
Refrain
I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah! O praise ye the Lord!
Verse 2
Don't you see the saints ascending,
Hear them shouting thro' the air.
Jesus smiling, trumpets sounding,
Now His glory they shall share.
