Author: John F. Taylor Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When the Savior went to Heaven Refrain First Line: He is coming, Christ is coming Lyrics: 1 When the Savior went to Heaven,
To His home on high,
Left the promise to His children,
To return by and by;
His disciples thro’ the ages
Have believed that word;
They have thought upon His promise
And expect their Lord.
Refrain:
He is coming, Christ is coming,
He is coming from on high (hallelujah!)
He is coming, surely coming,
And the day is drawing nigh.
2 Jesus left this earth for Heaven,
That bright home above,
To the faithful ones is given
A sweet home filled with love;
Let us watch and wait with patience
That delightful hour,
When our Lord will come from glory
In His mighty power. [Refrain]
3 When He cometh, all the faithful
Will His face behold,
And the resurrection trumpet
Will the glad news unfold;
All the righteous ones will hear Him,
From their graves arise,
And be carried home to Heaven,
Far beyond the skies. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When the Savior went to Heaven] Text Sources: His Voice of Love by James D. Vaughan (Lawrenceburg, TN: James D. Vaughan, 1924)
