My King will soon come back again,
The sky be filled with Him;
The universe to be redeemed
Will see His light therein.
The Lord will soon fulfill His plan,
His footsteps now I hear;
His glorious frame I faintly see
Beginning to appear.
The sky be filled with Him;
The universe to be redeemed
Will see His light therein.
The Lord will soon fulfill His plan,
His footsteps now I hear;
His glorious frame I faintly see
Beginning to appear.

I’m longing for His presence blest
And dare not slothful be
While waiting for my Lord’s return,
His own dear self to see.
My only hope—that He may come
And change my faith to sight;
There is no other joy on earth
Which gives my heart delight.
And dare not slothful be
While waiting for my Lord’s return,

And change my faith to sight;

My heart is always with Himself,
My eyes are heavenward,
My lips would utter nothing else
Than meeting with my Lord.
The coming of the Lord draws nigh,
His coming is for me;
His promise ever standeth firm
And soon fulfilled I’ll see.
My eyes are heavenward,

And soon fulfilled I’ll see.

My Savior, all Thy holy words
Can never doubted be;
With them encouraged day by day,
I’m faithful unto Thee.
Oh, may Thy glory soon appear,
The foe be overthrown;
Thy promises be realized,
And we brought to Thy throne.
Can never doubted be;

I’m faithful unto Thee.

And we brought to Thy throne.

Thy saving arm a refuge is,
My Savior God, to me;
Thou as the Father keepeth them
Who put their trust in Thee.
The sheep and shepherd are of one,
The head and body same;
None e’er can pluck from out Thy hand
The child who trusts Thy Name.

A thousand hands won’t hinder me,
Nor will ten thousand eyes;
The thorns upon the road but help
Me onward to the prize.
Arise, my spirit and my heart,
And let the world go by;
The Lord of life will take me soon
To be with Him on high.
Nor will ten thousand eyes;
The thorns upon the road but help

Arise, my spirit and my heart,
And let the world go by;

To be with Him on high.

Thou healing sun! Thou hope of man!
I really love Thy ray.
Oh, righteous Lord! oh, glorious King!
I bow to Thee and pray:
Oh, may Thou soon ascend Thy throne
And quickly show Thy face;
Thy heav’nly kingdom may Thou found
And grant all men Thy grace.

The truth should triumph and be king,
And freedom should be queen;
But falsehood, which has rampant run,
Head of the world be seen.
We ask Thee, Truth, to quickly come
And bring Thy light from heav’n;
The foe be crushed and all Thy sons
Into Thy bosom giv’n.
And freedom should be queen;
But falsehood, which has rampant run,
Head of the world be seen.
We ask Thee, Truth, to quickly come
And bring Thy light from heav’n;
The foe be crushed and all Thy sons
Into Thy bosom giv’n.

I came across this in my hymn book but didn't know how to sing it. Luckily the version here is sung and not just piano so I've really been helped to learn it. What a beautiful song! I like how the writer made it personal
"My savior God, to me".... "A thousand hands won't hinder me"
It's very beneficial to us to love God as a whole. As a Church.
But the relationship is very personal. That's what makes this beautiful to me.
I also pray to one day become this mature in my faith; caring for nothing worldly and nothing else besides the Lord's coming.

The Lord’s second coming will resolve all the problems of the world, such as injustice (Isa. 11:4), war (2:4), sickness (Rev. 22:2; Ezek. 47:12), famine (Isa. 35:1, 6), education (2:2-5; 4:2-6; 11:9; Hab. 2:14; Heb. 8:11; Psa. 2:6, 12), sinful establishments (Matt. 13:41-43), the suffering of all creation (Rom. 8:21-22; Isa. 11:6, 9), and earthly governments (Rev. 11:15; Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45).

During Semi annual training on Minor Prophets, in our group meeting we enjoyed this Hymn so much and also out of this enjoyment we translated this Hymn in to our local language(Telugu). Whenever I sang this Hymn, my eyes filled with tears. We all can touch the spirit of Br. Watchman Nee(Author of this Hymn) about his desire of Lords return in this Hymn.

The truth should triumph and be king, And freedom should be queen;
But falsehood, which has rampant run, Head of the world be seen!
We ask Thee, Truth, to quickly come, And bring Thy light from heaven;
The foe be crushed and all Thy sons, Into Thy bosom given!
Yes, come again quickly Lord Jesus--our glorious and victorious King!
