Verse 1
To the universe comes
righteous judgment.
All men grow faint-hearted and fearful,
because the world in which
all mankind dwell
is a world where
righteousness is unknown.

Verse 2
And when the Sun of righteousness appears,
the East will be lit up,
then the whole universe.
If man can carry out
God's righteousness,
then there would be
nothing to fear at all.

Chorus
The time has finally arrived.
God's work He will start to perform,
He will reign as King among men.
God is on the point of return,
and He is about to depart.
For this all have hoped and they wished.
God will let all see His day's arrival,
let them welcome this day with bliss.

Verse 3
God's people long for
the coming of His day.
They wait for God to bring retribution,
yeah, and to set the destination of man
in His role as the Sun of righteousness.

Verse 4
God's kingdom is now coming into shape
above the universe,
His throne holds sway
among the hearts of trillions of people.
With angels' help,
God's great work will soon be attained.

Chorus
The time has finally arrived.
God's work He will start to perform,
He will reign as King among men.
God is on the point of return,
and He is about to depart.
For this all have hoped and they wished.
God will let all see His day's arrival,
let them welcome this day with bliss.

Verse 5
All of God's sons
and God's people await,
longing for Him to reunite with them.
With bated breath
they wait for His return,
never to be separated again.

Verse 6
How could the innumerous populace
of God's kingdom
not race towards each other
in celebration because He is with them?
Could this gathering come at no cost,
at no cost?

Chorus
The time has finally arrived.
God's work He will start to perform,
He will reign as King among men.
God is on the point of return,
and He is about to depart.
For this all have hoped and they wished.
God will let all see His day's arrival,
let them welcome this day with bliss.

Bridge
God is noble in all the eyes of men.
He is proclaimed
in the words of them all.
When God finally makes His return,
enemy forces He'll conquer in full.

Chorus
The time has finally arrived.
God's work He will start to perform,
He will reign as King among men.
God is on the point of return,
He is about to depart.
For this all have hoped and they wished.
God will let all see His day's arrival,
let them welcome this day with bliss,
let them welcome this day,
this day with bliss.
