Why Stand Ye Idly Gazing

Why stand ye idly gazing t'ward Heaven's blessèd height?

This same Jesus is coming back again;

The shining angels told it, arrayed in spotless white;

This same Jesus is coming back again.

Refrain

This same Jesus, this same Jesus;

Oh, tell the joyful tidings to all the sons of men!

Oh, let us work and pray, rejoicing every day;

This same Jesus is coming back again.

Receiving His good Spirit, we'll know His presence near;

This same Jesus is coming back again;

He fills us with His blessing, He gives us love and cheer;

This same Jesus is coming back again.

Refrain

Our lowly talents doubling, more faithful may we be;

This same Jesus is coming back again;

And spread abroad His Gospel with happy hearts and free;

This same Jesus is coming back again.

Refrain

In every time of trial we'll trust His changeless love;

This same Jesus is coming back again;

The mighty King of Glory still reigns for us above;

This same Jesus is coming back again.
