COMING OF CHRIST.

By L. D. Santee

Soon will the day appear in solemn splendor, When Christ in clouds to judge the world shall come; Strict to reward, a sentence just he'll render Of life and peace, or else a fiery doom.
The world is full of chances and of changes, Love's joyous bridal and the burial wail. Tempest and calm the ocean deep exchanges; The cry of pain is borne on every gale.
Louder, still louder, roars the awful thunder, Destruction follows in the tempest's wake, Creation stands aghast in fear and wonder, While at Jehovah's voice the earth shall shake.
Hasten, O Lord, thy pure and glorious kingdom; Signs all portend thy coming draweth nigh, And thy redeemed—with joy shall angels bring them To that blest city far above the sky.
L. D. SANTEE. Dixon, Mo.
