Busy housewives cease their labors, In the courtroom no debate,
EDA
Work on earth is all suspended as the King comes thro' the gate.
ChorusAA7DBm
O the King is coming, The King is coming!

O the King is coming, The King is coming!

Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed,

Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow,
EDA
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow.

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,
EDA
Heaven's choir now assembled, Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
