Tune: Cross of Jesus
('Come, thou long-expected Jesus')
Luke 21 v.25-28
*********
At Christ's second coming, return
There be signs that we can learn
Signs in sun, and moon, and stars too
Help us Lord those signs to view
Upon the earth shall be distress
Of nations, turmoil no less
They perplexed, and sea's waves roaring
You shall full your kingdom bring
People's hearts be failing from fear
for looking on those things near
And which are to soon come on earth
Yet of praise you still are worth
The powers of heaven shall be
Shaken, and then all shall see
The Son of Man coming in cloud
With power, glory endowed
When those things begin to happen
Look up, and be joyful then
For your redemption it draws nigh
End of every mournful sigh
