War — Then Peace!

By Lephia Bryant Larson

LEPHIA BRYANT LARSON
Bow your heads, Christians, the war-cloud descending Reveals to your souls that the end draweth nigh. Nations are angry, and Satan is sending His spirit abroad with loud, fiendish cry:
War! war! O! the heart-breaking anguish That little word gives to those who have known, And to those who to-day in dark prisons languish, Suffering and dying for crimes not left their own!
Bow your heads, Christians, the cloud bursts in fury, And nations are killing the best of their land. Sweethearts and wives are weeping and praying As the troops march away at their country's command.
Bow your heads, Christians, all shall be done As foretold in God's blessed Word; The signs are fulfilling in earth, moon, and sun, And soon shall appear our dear Lord.
O, look away, Christians, look toward heaven, From whence shall come thy longed-for release. The signs are fulfilling, the warning is given, We soon shall behold the great Prince of Peace!
The nations are angry! O, are we ready To meet the dread times that are fast drawing on? Can we hear, with strong faith, the words of the angel That shall speak from God's throne, “It is done”?
