How many scoff, deny, forget
– they do not want to know
that to their Maker they’re in debt,
and praise, submission owe.
    Every eye will one day see Him,
    Jesus returning, majestic, reigning:
    how many will be waiting
    with faith, upon the earth?

Remember, though, how soon is meant –
God’s time’s not to our scale
– He waits, that many may repent,
– His coming will not fail.
    Until every eye will see Him,
    Christ Jesus coming, in power returning,
    I’ll trust, and while I’m waiting
    urge faith upon the earth.

When He is ready, Christ will come:
the world will not expect
the awesome, judging, holy One
whom most now scorn, reject.
    We look forward to His coming,
    the old earth melting, the new appearing,
    in Him, keep persevering
     in holy, godly faith.

‘“Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. ‘ Revelation 22:20

Tune: of ‘I know not how God’s wondrous grace’

Some people told me that everybody will see him because it will be on television. Can't argue against that hey? But yes the Bible clearly says it will be on the clouds and as a physical body. There will be a new earth and a new heaven.

Have a good day Rhiannon! Nolan &&

Thank you, I've just been listening (via zoom) to one of my sons preaching in his chapel, as I could not get out this morning. And he was preaching from 1Thessalonians chapter 5  about living alert and self-controlled with the armour of faith and love and the hope of salvation as we await as we don't know the time of his return.
