Jesus is coming soon. Every Sunday morning in addition to an incredible breakfast the ritual of my in-laws was to listen to gospel music. No doubt they listened to the above song many times. It is amazing to me how old songs, quotes, etc. are still as apropo today as they were then. This particular song was written by Robert Winsett. Still dont know the date but he died in 1952. The song later won a Dove award in 1969. He also wrote the song Living by Faith. The words: Troublesome times are here, filling mens hearts with fear Freedom we all hold dear now is at stake Humbling your hearts to God saves from the chastening rod Seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians awake Jesus is coming soon, morning or night or noon Many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound All of the dead shall rise, righteous meet in the skies Going where no one dies, heavenward bound Troubles will soon be oer, happy forevermore When we meet on that shore, free from all care Rising up in the sky, telling this world goodbye Homeward we then shall fly, glory to share Oh, Jesus is coming soon, morning or night or noon Many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound All of the dead shall rise, righteous meet in the skies Going where no one dies, heavenward bound Some of you may have heard this rendition https://youtube/watch?v=3l_LfGjXShg
