The Lord Jesus will return in glory at the end of time to judge all creation.
But does he predict this final day in any of the gospels?
Broughton Knox, former principal of Moore Theological College, believed that there were five comings of the Son of Man referred to in the New Testament, and the one that Jesus was most urgently concerned that people be ready for was the third one.
Here's the relevant quote from the Sola Panel blog.
What it means is that if Broughton is right, this hymn gets the direction in which Jesus comes 180 degrees wrong.
It is still el hymno fabuloso, though, so I love to sing it (probably at about one-and-a-half times the speed of that music in the link, but).

Oh -- one of my favourite hymns; I have a version with a particularly glorious descant on constant CD rotation.
