There Shall Be Signs

By Max Hill

MAX HILL
The Saviour’s voice comes down to us, “ There shall be signs.”
In heaven and in earth displayed, There shall be signs; The sun to blackness turned at noon, To blood be changed the midnight moon, The falling of the stars shall be, The heavens shaken mightily,— There shall be signs.
And then shall awful deeds be told,— There shall be signs; For earth shall wax as garments old,— There shall be signs.
Then shall it quake by temblor fierce, The lightning’s flash the darkness pierce, In tidal wave the sea shall roar, In awful shakings more and more,— There shall be signs.
And men shall show the time is near,— There shall be signs; Their vile hearts failing them for fear,— There shall be signs.
Then wars and pestilence shall be, And crime be rife, and peace shall flee; Then riches grow, oppression rise, And wails of torture reach the skies,— There shall be signs.
But soon shall come our Saviour King,— These be the signs; His voice throughout the earth shall ring,— These be the signs.
The dead in Christ shall then arise To meet their Master in the skies; Then shall all sorrow flee away, Earth’s midnight be eternal day,— These be the signs.
Sanitarium, Cal.
