No More Delay

By William Brickey

WILLIAM BRICKEY

WHEN this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in every clime For a witness to all nations, we shall reach the end of time: Christ will come in all his glory, down the shining heavenly way; He is coming for his people, there will be no more delay.

Are you looking for his gracious revelation? Are you ready for the end of your probation? Are you longing for the day When our great High Priest will say, There will be no more delay, It is finished?

In this present generation, to the earth's remotest bound, Must this threefold gospel message with a mighty voice resound. In the spirit of Elijah, with a martyr's zeal we pray, Even so come, blessed Jesus! come, and make no more delay.

We can see the harvest fields already whitening; Brethren, let us send the message with the lightning; Send the steam ships on their way With the message for to-day, There must be no more delay 'Till it's finished.

All the elements are preaching that the day is just at hand, Floods and flames and epidemics almost desolate the land. Wars and pestilence and famines preach, and earthquakes plainly say, He is coming, he is coming! there will be no more delay.

Nahum's chariots rage and jostle one another In the streets, and in the broadway, where, my brother, They emphatically say, 'Tis God's preparation day; There will be no more delay 'Till it's finished.

Gather up the silent messengers, prepared for men to read, Send them forth on Nahum's chariots, with almost lightning speed. Send along the living preachers, let them lift their voice and say, He is coming, he is coming! there will be no more delay. Wake and rouse thee for the conflict, O my brother! Do not trust the living issue to another; Tarry not another day, You have heard the Master say, There will be no more delay 'Till it's finished.
