Looking for song title/lyrics - "As lightning flashes in the east, Jesus is is coming"

Good Morning everyone!

I have this song stuck in my head and can't remember the lyrics or even what group sang it. My parents had an old CD with songs that was given to them by a Pastor friend of my family. On that CD was a great accapella rendition of this song by an all male choir. The starting line that I remember is "As lightning flashes in the east, Jesus is is coming!" That is the line that sticks out most in my head. I can hear more of the tune in my head, but can't for the life of me actually remember any more words. Anyone happen to have heard this song before?

Hi scourby

Here are the lyrics and thanks to the Guests who posted the link

As lightning flashes from the East - Jesus is coming
And shineth in unto the West - Jesus is coming
The signs around us multiply - Christ will come from Heaven on high
Weary Christian don't despair - You will meet Him in the air
Better be ready
Jesus is coming better be ready - maybe at noon or the midnight hour
Jesus is coming in great glory - everyone then will behold His power
Keep every lamp light burning brightly - watch for His coming draweth nigh
Better be ready
Jesus is coming - better be ready
Jesus is coming - look to the sky

The Lord's preparing a home on high - Jesus is coming
And we may see Him before we die - Jesus is coming
When we shall hear the trumpet sound calling us to higher ground
We will then be caught away on that Resurrection Day
Better be ready
Jesus is coming better be ready - maybe at noon or the midnight hour
Jesus is coming in great glory - everyone then will behold His power
Keep every lamp light burning brightly - watch for His coming draweth nigh
Better be ready
Jesus is coming - better be ready
Jesus is coming - look to the sky
Jesus is coming - better be ready
Look to the sky
Better be ready
