COME QUICKLY.

By W. C. G.

TUNE.—“Ring the Bell, Watchman.”
O’ER all the land have the signs now appeared, Telling us soon our dear Saviour will come; Long has the worn pilgrim watched, hoped, and feared, Waiting for “that blessed hope,”—O come, Saviour, come.

CHORUS.

Sound forth the tidings, long, loud and clear, Jesus is coming and soon will be here; All hearts respond, as we long for our home, “Quickly come, O blessed Jesus, come, Saviour, come.”
Signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, Faithfully show that the great day is near, Nations distressed by the rumors of wars, And the hearts of wicked men are falling for fear.
Chorus.—Sound forth the tidings, &c.
These, to the pilgrim, are omens of cheer, Toiling and sighing in life’s gloomy way, All, all proclaim that the Saviour is near, And the light is dawning of that soon-coming day.
Chorus.—Sound forth the tidings, &c.
Then let us rally and fresh courage take, Soon will we hear our dear Lord’s loving voice, Those who will now all their errors forsake, Soon the pearly gates will enter,—sing and rejoice.
Chorus.—Sound forth the tidings, &c.
W. C. G.
