Jesus Is Coming Again Piano Notes

Representative Text

1 Jesus is coming to earth once more--
What if it were today?
Coming in power and love to reign--
What if it were today?
Coming to claim His called Helpmate,
All the redeemed and purified,
Over this whole globe scattered wide--
What if information technology were today?

Chorus:
Glory, glory!
Joy to my heart 'twill bring;
Glory, glory!
When we shall crown Him King.
Glory, glory!
Haste to prepare the way;
Glory, glory!
Jesus will come someday.

ii Satan's dominion will then exist o'er--
O that it were today!
Sorrow and sighing shall be no more than--
O that it were today!
Then shall the dead in Christ arise,
Defenseless up to run across Him in the skies;
When shall these glories meet our eyes?
What if information technology were today?[Chorus]

3 Faithful and true would He find united states here
If He should come today?
Watching in gladness and not in fright,
If He should come today?
Signs of His coming multiply,
Morning time low-cal breaks in eastern sky;
Watch, for the fourth dimension is cartoon nigh--
What if it were today?[Chorus]

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sis and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter equally the years get past." Mary Louise VanDyke Become to person page >
