He Is Coming

By E. Trigg

By E. Trigg
In this world, so long ago, When our Saviour walked with man, He arranged, that all might know, When to earth He'd come again; Told what signs in heaven should be, Wondrous signs in earth likewise; And He bade them watch to see Him appearing in the skies.
Are we watching for our Lord? As we labor day by day, Are we trusting in His word, Heeding what He then did say? As the summer follows on When the fig-tree's leaves put forth, Soon in judgment He will come, Closing up the scenes of earth.
He has said that He would come When those signs had all been seen— Come to take His faithful home. Know ye not those signs have been? Yes, my dear friends, they have passed; And our Lord will soon appear, For the day is coming fast. Be prepared to meet Him here.
When His chariot shall appear, With bright angels hovering round, Then with love that casts out fear, May our souls in Him be found, Wanting naught to make us meet For His glory evermore, As before the mercy-seat Christ the Holy we adore.
