“The Coming of the Lord Draweth Nigh”

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
He is coming as the “lightning,” All the world can not conceal it. ’Tis foretold by saints and sages That his advent draweth nigh; He is coming with his angels, Thrilling prophecies reveal it; There are omens of his coming, In the earth, and sea, and sky.
He is coming in the heavens, ’Tis not long till I shall meet him, When the King to crown his children, Shall in majesty descend. Faith has longed for his appearing, Soon then in the clouds I’ll greet him, My dear Saviour and Redeemer, Who will all my steps attend.
He is coming in the heavens; All the saints will rise immortal, And will bid farewell forever To the darkness of the tomb; In the joy of life eternal, They will cross the pearly portal, To dwell for aye with Jesus, Where the flowers of Eden bloom.
O, I’m longing for his coming, And the life that lasts forever, Free for aye from every heartache And from sorrow, sin, and pain! In the radiance of heaven, And where sickness cometh never, Shall the bosom thrill with rapture When the Lord shall come again.
Moline, Ill.
