All is calm; all is quiet, all around
Slowly you walk your way, all is calm, all is quiet
The streets filled with people of you and me
We wonder about, we search for each other
Somewhere in the darkness of light

Then the Lord will come, then the Lord will come
As a thief in the night, as a thief in the night
That's how the Lord will come

No one has promised, no promise is given
About a day tomorrow, we plan, we spend
But every one says, all is calm

Then the Lord will come, then the Lord will come
As a thief in the night, as a thief in the night
That's how the Lord will come

A summer's night the wind caresses your cheek
You hear shouts, you hear laughter
Laughter from people, somewhere
A last wish for you, yes, for you
Be ready, get things straight with God
For He'll be coming soon

Then the Lord will come, then the Lord will come
As a thief in the night, as a thief in the night
That's how the Lord will come
That's how the Lord will come
That's how the Lord will come

Then the Lord will come, then the Lord will come
As a thief in the night, as a thief in the night
That's how the Lord will come
That's how the Lord will come
That's how the Lord will come
