"Behold I Come."

By Rainbow

I AM coming! All my loved ones, Softly sleeping 'neath the sod, Shall awake to life eternal— Wake and smile to meet their God.

I am coming! Faint not, fear not, Weary, heavy-laden one; You—the sick, the sad, and sorrowing— Shall immortal joy put on.

I am coming! Ye have trusted In me only through the fight, And ye shall be crowned as conquerors, Sharers in my royal might.

I am coming! And the evil, Against which you've nobly stood, Shall die, and everlasting Only be the reign of good.

Yes I come! I know ye love me, Ye my death-bought, blood-washed throng, Having my returning waited, Ye shall sing the marriage song.

--Rainbow.
