The King Is Coming

(início)

   G                G7                 C                    Am
The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets,
            D                                        C               G
All the builders' tools are silent,  No more time to harvest wheat;
      G                       G7                 C                     Am
Busy housewives cease their labors,   In the courtroom no debate,
           D                               C                             G
Work on earth is all suspended  as the King comes thro' the gate.
CHORUS
        G        G7       C            Am
O the King is coming, The King is coming!
       D                                       C                 G
I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see;
                 G7          C         Am
O the King is coming, The King is coming!
         D                    G
Praise God, He's coming for me!
VERSE 2
   G                   G7                   C                    Am
Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed,
          D                                   C               G
Broken homes that He has mended, Those from prison He has freed;
        G                G7            C                     Am
Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow,
           D                               C                             G
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow.
VERSE 3
        G                 G7          C                    Am
I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng,
            D                             C               G
The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong:
      G               G7                 C                     Am
Regal robes are now unfolding, Heaven's grandstand's all in place,
           D                             C                             G
Heaven's choir now assembled, Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
