THE BLESSED HOPE.

By L. D. Santee

ELDER L. D. SANTEE.
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Titus 2: 13.
The hands of earth wake not the chords That thrill with the hope of heaven; For worldly hearts are cold and hard, Nor believe the assurance given That the skies shall reveal the coming King, And burn with an awful splendor, While the blood-washed throng shall rejoice and sing, As He comes His award to render.
He will come with the shining angel host, From the pearly gate of heaven, To redeem the loved and restore the lost, If to Him their hearts are given. And smiles shine out on the care-worn face As they list to the thrilling story, How Christ, with His tender love and grace, Will come in His Father's glory.
The world knows not of the King sublime, His promises never reach them; But He calls to “His own,” through the years of time, “Go seek the lost, and teach them; And tell of the thrilling, the blessed hope; It is part of the ‘old, old story,’ That sin-sick souls that in darkness grope May sit with the King in His glory.”
