The marketplace is empty

No more traffic

In the streets

All the builders' tools are silent

No more time to harvest wheat

Busy housewives

Cease their labors

In the courtroom

No debate

Work on earth

Is all suspended

As the king

Comes thro' the gate

O the king is coming

The king is coming

I just heard the trumpets sounding

And now his face I see

O the king is coming

The king is coming

Praise god

He's coming for me

Happy faces line the hallways

Those whose lives

Have been redeemed

Broken homes

He has mended

Those from prison he has freed

Little children

And the aged

Hand in hand stand all aglow

Who were crippled

Broken ruined

Dressed in garments white as snow

I can hear the chariots rumble

I can see the marching throng

The flurry

Of god's trumpets

Spells the end

Of sin and wrong

Regal robes are now unfolding

Heaven's grandstand's all in place

Heaven's choir is now assembled

Start to sing amazing grace

O the king is coming

The king is coming

I just heard the trumpets sounding

And now his face I see

O the king is coming

The king is coming

Praise god he's coming for me

O the king is coming

The king is coming

I just heard the trumpets sounding

And now his face I see

O the king is coming

The king is coming

Praise god

He's coming for me

He's coming for me
