Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.168
First Line: There's a glorious Kingdom waiting,
There's a glorious Kingdom waiting
in the land beyond the sky,
Where the saints have been gathering year by year;
And the days are swiftly passing that
will bring the Kingdom nigh:
For the coming of the Kingdom
draweth near !
Oh, the coming of the Kingdom draweth near ! . . .
Oh, the coming of the Kingdom draweth near ! . . .
Be thou ready, O my soul, for the trumpet soon may roll,
And the King in His glory shall appear
2 ‘Tis the hope of yonder Kingdom, and
the glory there prepared,
And the looking for the Saviour to appear,
That delivers us from bondage to the
world that once ensnared:
For the coming of the Kingdom
draweth near !
3 With the coming of the Kingdom we
shall see our blessed Lord,
For the King ere the Kingdom
must appear,
Hallelujah to His name, who
redeemed us by His blood !
Oh, the coming of the Kingdom
draweth near !
4 Oh, the world is growing weary, it
has waited now so long,
And the hearts of men are failing
them for fear;
Let us tell them of the Kingdom, let
us cheer them with the song,
That the coming of the Kingdom
draweth near !
