JESUS NEAR.

By J. H. CURTIS.

So ye, in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Mark xiii, 29.
Sinner, haste, the day is breaking, Soon the Saviour will appear; Hark, the powers of heaven are shaking! Thus proclaiming he is near.
Hark, a voice from every quarter Peals like thunder through the air; Thrones are shaking, nations tremble, And prepare themselves for war.
Listen, sinner, heed the warning, Breaking forth upon your ears; To the Saviour quickly hasten, Ere the great white throne appears.
See, the storm is deeply gathering, Hear the thunder's awful roar, Soon 'twill burst in vengeance on you, Then you'll sink to rise no more.
All the prophets have foretold you, Jesus warned you of the same; Come, dear sinner, heed the warning, Realize you're near the end.
Mark the pilgrims that are faithful, Faithful till he shall appear; They with shouts and palms of victory, Rise to meet him in the air.
Hasten, sinner, to the fountain Jesus opened with his blood; Quick, or be destroyed forever, From the presence of the Lord.
J. H. CURTIS.
