Coming on a Cloud

By Edith B. Goodrich

MRS. EDITH B. GOODRICH
He is coming on a cloud, With the sound of trumpet loud, With a golden crown of glory on his head; As our King shall thus descend, Holy angels will attend, And his mighty voice will wake the righteous dead.
Do you feel the thrilling power Of that great and solemn hour? Do you know that it is very, very near? God is finishing his work, Sifting out the ones who shirk; Let us hasten and his high commands revere.
Now for means your Lord doth plead, Now of workers hath he need, For the harvest-fields are fully ripe to-day; Soon he will not ask you more, For the harvest will be o'er, And he'll turn you with your gold and greed away.
He is coming on the cloud. Blow the trumpet long and loud With a certain sound, that all may hear and heed. Do to-day what you should do, That it may be well with you When the Judge awards mankind for every deed.
