Like a thief in the night
Just like lightning in the sky
When Jesus comes to take His Church away
With a wave of His hand
We'll be in the promised land
And the people of the Lord will sing His praise

Alleluia, Christ is coming
With angels at His side
Alleluia, Christ is coming
Coming for His bride

Days are dark, hearts are cold
Yet there's a reason still to hope
When we rest upon the promises He made
From the clouds, from on high
He will part the eastern sky
And myriads of angels will proclaim

Alleluia, Christ is coming
With angels at His side
Alleluia, Christ is coming
Coming for His bride

No more sorrow, no more death
Only blessed happiness
When Jesus comes to take His bride away
