515. You are coming, O my Saviour

Author: Frances R Havergal 1836-79

You are coming, O my saviour,
you are coming, O my King,
in your beauty all-resplendent,
in your glory all-transcendent;
well may we rejoice and sing.
Coming! In the opening east
brighter shines your heavenly light.
Coming! O my glorious Priest:
come in all your power and might!

2. You are coming, great Redeemer,
we shall meet you on your way;
we shall see you, we shall know you,
we shall bless you, we shall show you
all our hearts could never say:
there, enraptured by the view,
hearts and voices we will raise,
pouring out our love to you
in thanksgiving, worship, praise.

3. You are coming-at your table
we are witnesses for this;
with your love and grace you greet us,
in communion, Lord, you meet us-
foretaste of our coming bliss:
showing not your death alone,
and your love so rich and great,
but your coming and your throne,
all for which we long and wait.

4. O the joy to see you reigning,
you, my own beloved Lord;
every tongue your name confessing-
worship, honour, glory, blessing,
brought to you with one accord:
you, my master and my friend,
vindicated and renowned;
to the earth’s remotest end
glorified, adored and crowned!
