Verse 1 

   A                A7                 D                    Bm 
The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets, 

            E                                        D               A 
All the builders' tools are silent,  No more time to harvest wheat; 

      A                       A7                 D                     Bm 
Busy housewives cease their labors,   In the courtroom no debate, 

           E                               D                             A 
Work on earth is all suspended  as the King comes thro' the gate. 


Chorus 
        A        A7       D            Bm 
O the King is coming, The King is coming! 

       E                                       D                 A 
I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; 

                 A7          D         Bm 
O the King is coming, The King is coming! 

         E                    A 
Praise God, He's coming for me! 


Verse 2 

   A                   A7                   D                    Bm 
Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed, 

          E                                   D               A 
Broken homes that He has mended, Those from prison He has freed; 

        A                A7            D                     Bm 
Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow, 

           E                               D                             A 
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow. 


Verse 3 

        A                 A7          D                    Bm 
I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng, 

            E                             D               A 
The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong: 

      A               A7                 D                     Bm 
Regal robes are now unfolding, Heaven's grandstand's all in place, 

           E                             D                             A 
Heaven's choir now assembled, Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
