Coming on the Cloud

By MRS. EDITH B. GOODRICH

MRS. EDITH B. GOODRICH
He is coming on the cloud When the trumpet soundeth loud, With a golden crown of glory on his head; As our King shall thus descend, Holy angels shall attend, And his mighty voice shall wake the righteous dead!
Do you feel the thrilling power Of that great and solemn hour? Do you know that it is very, very near? God is shortening the work— Sifting out the ones who shirk; Let us hasten, then, his high commands to hear.
Does it sometimes come to you There are things that you should do? Are his calls for means and service all obeyed? O my brother, heed his voice, In his blessing then rejoice, And await the coming King, nor be afraid!
Now for means your Lord doth plead, Now of reapers hath he need, For the harvest-fields are fully white to-day. Soon he will not ask you more, For the harvest will be o'er, And he'll turn you with your gold and greed away.
He is coming on the cloud; Blow the trumpet long and loud With a certain sound that all may hear and heed; Do to-day what you should do, That it may be well with you When the Judge awards according to the deed.
