#454 - Don't You See My Jesus Coming? Kings Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church Hymnal
1. Don't you see my Jesus coming,
See Him come in yonder cloud?
With ten thousand angels round Him,
How they do my Jesus crowd!
Refrain: I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah! O praise ye the Lord!
2. Don't you see the saints ascending,
Hear them shouting thro' the air.
Jesus smiling, trumpets sounding,
Now His glory they shall share.
Don't You See My Jesus Coming?- Revival and Camp Meeting Minstrel; 1860
296 P.M.
BRETHREN, see my Jesus coming,
Don't you see him in yonder cloud,
With ten thousand angels round him?
See how they do my Jesus crowd.
I'll arise and go and meet him;
He'll embrace me in his arms;
In the arms of my dear Jesus,
0 there are ten thousand charms.
2 Death shall not destroy my comfort,
Christ shall guide me through the gloom,
Down he'll send some heavenly convoy,
To escort my spirit home:
Jordan's streams shall ne'er o'erflow me,
While my Saviour's by my side: Canaan,
Canaan lies before me,
Rise and cross the swelling tide.
3 See the happy spirits waiting,
On the bank beyond the stream,
Sweet responses still repeating,
Jesus, Jesus is their theme.
See, they whisper! hark! they call me,
Sister spirit come away!
Lo, I come! Earth can't contain me;
Hail! ye realms of endless day.
4 Worlds of light and crowns of glory,
Far above yon azure sky,
Though by faith I now explore ye,
I'll enjoy you soon on high.
Soon I'll gain a full possession,
Faith and hope shall henceforth cease,
Lost in love's exhaustless ocean,
Love, that sweetest, brightest grace.
5. Swiftly roll ye lingering hours,
Seraphs lend your glittering wings,
Love absorbs my ransomed powers,
Heavenly sound around me rings.
Worlds above are bright and glorious,
All beneath are dark and void;
Conquest gained, I'll shout victorious
In the praises of my God.
6. Smiling angels now surround me,
Troops resplendent fill the skies,
Glory shining all around me,
While my towering spirit flies.
Jesus clad in dazzling splendor,
Now methinks appears in view;
Brethren, could you see my Jesus,
You would serve and love him too.
