1
Jesus the King is coming soon
To reign upon the earth.
He is coming to establish God’s kingdom on earth.
Ah… what joy! What supreme joy!
What indescribable joy there will be on that day!
When Immanuel, the Messiah,
Reigns on earth as the righteous King,
What joy there will be on that day!
2
Satan will be bound,
And everlasting peace will fill the earth.
Sorrow will disappear,
And righteous and good government
Will prevail throughout the earth.
3
Wars, famines, earthquakes,
The murderous cries of violent people,
And every form of cruel rule
Will come to an end.
People everywhere will live together
In peace and love.
4
The deserts and wildernesses will blossom,
And the dry land will produce abundant fruit.
Water will flow everywhere
With showers of blessing,
When Jesus reigns upon the earth.
5
Those who were rejected and persecuted,
Those who suffered for Christ,
And those who gave their lives as martyrs
Will then wear crowns of gold.
They will sing and rejoice
And reign together
With Christ the King.
