Jesus is Coming Again Lyrics

Jessie E Strout

Lift up the trumpet, and loud let it ring:
Jesus is coming again!
Cheer up, ye pilgrims, be joyful and sing:
Jesus is coming again!

Refrain
Coming again, coming again,
Jesus is coming again!

Echo it, hilltops; proclaim it, ye plains:
Jesus is coming again!
Coming in glory, the Lamb that was slain;
Jesus is coming again!

Heavings of earth, tell the vast, wondering throng:
Jesus is coming again!
Tempests and whirlwinds, the anthem prolong;
Jesus is coming again!

Nations are angry–by this, we do know
Jesus is coming again!
Knowledge increases; men run to and fro;
Jesus is coming again!

Jesus is Coming Again Hymn History

Jesus Is Coming Again (Lift Up The Trumpet is a hymn that has blessed millions all over the world.

It is one of the favorite hymns in the Seventh-day Adventist Church to which I belong. It is almost the anthem of our church.

Lift Up The Trumpet is a song that vividly brings the hope of Jesus’ second coming to many.

It is this hope that has helped many going through hardship to endure.

It has soothed the aching hearts of those that have lost loved ones as they know that they will meet them again during the second coming of Jesus.

The words of this popular hymn were penned by Rev Jerusha E. “Jessie” Strout Jordan (Jessie E Strout) an Advent Christian Minister, in 1872.

Little is known about this pastor other than that he was a poet and minister.

Jessie E Strout will, however, be remembered for this simple but beautiful hymn that continues to bless millions.

The music to this hymn, Lift Up The Trumpet was done by George E Lee in the same year 1872.
