The King Is Coming

A A7 D Bm The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets, E D A All the builders' tools are silent, No more time to harvest wheat; A A7 D Bm Busy housewives cease their labors, In the courtroom no debate, E D A Work on earth is all suspended as the King comes thro' the gate. A A7 D Bm O the King is coming, The King is coming! E D A I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; A7 D Bm O the King is coming, The King is coming! E A Praise God, He's coming for me! A A7 D Bm Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed, E D A Broken homes that He has mended, Those from prison He has freed; A A7 D Bm Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow, E D A Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow. A A7 D Bm I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng, E D A The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong: A A7 D Bm Regal robes are now unfolding, Heaven's grandstand's all in place, E D A Heaven's choir now assembled, Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
