verse 1
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!"
