Early Morning Thoughts

By A. G. WRIGHT

A. G. WRIGHT (Deceased)

It is time to begin, If at last we would win In the battle with self and wrong. There’s a cause to maintain, And a heaven to gain, If we sing the triumphant song.

There’s a warning to give To the people who live In this generation of men. There are truths to proclaim In the power of his name Who said, “I am coming again.”

The time now is near When he shall appear To redeem his chosen and tried Who believed on his name, By his grace overcame, And will in his presence abide.

Soon his judgments will fall On the great and the small, Who have heard, but would not obey. Soon a voice from the throne Will declare, “It is done;” Thus will end probation’s long day.

Then the whole earth will shake With so great an earthquake; The islands will then flee away, The mountains will fall, And the great men will call For a place to hide in that day.

Then the trumpet will sound The whole earth around With the power of the Archangel’s voice, As he calls from the tomb, Clothed in immortal bloom, All those who have made him their choice.

Then, up to the skies, With glad shouts they’ll arise, To meet their Redeemer and King. In anthems of praise, On that glad day of days, With loud hallelujahs they’ll sing.

Then the chariot grand, At the word of command Moves on toward the city of light, Where the King on his throne Will welcome them home Into day where there’s nevermore night.
