442   How Sweet Are the Tidings




[1]
How sweet are the tidings that greet the pilgrim s ear
As he wanders in exile from home!
Soon soon will the Savior in glory appear
And soon will the kingdom come.

[C]
He s coming coming coming soon I know
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go
When the Savior comes to reign.

[2]
The mossy old graves where the pilgrims sleep
Shall be open as wide as before
And the millions that sleep in the mighty deep
Shall live on this earth once more.

[C]
He s coming coming coming soon I know
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go
When the Savior comes to reign.

[3]
There we ll meet ne er to part in our happy Eden home
Sweet songs of redemption we ll sing;
From the north from the south all the ransomed shall come
And worship our heavenly King.

[C]
He s coming coming coming soon I know
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go
When the Savior comes to reign.

[4]
Hallelujah Amen! hallelujah again!
Soon if faithful we all shall be there;
O be watchful be hopeful be joyful till then
And a crown of bright glory we ll wear.

[C]
He s coming coming coming soon I know
Coming back to this earth again;
And the weary pilgrims will to glory go
When the Savior comes to reign.
