“I WILL COME AGAIN.”

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE.
The Lord will come on some to-morrow, “For so the word of Jesus said,” When saints shall bid adieu to sorrow, And earth shall no more mourn her dead.
This promise in our hearts we’re keeping; We’ve thought its meaning o’er and o’er, That whether waking, or in sleeping, We’ll go with Him, and die no more.
We’ll rise with Him where dwells no sadness; But not alone, Oh, not alone! For in the songs of joy and gladness, We’ll recognize familiar tones.
The friends best loved are reunited, With more than old-time tenderness; The starry eyes of hearts delighted, Will look in ours to cheer and bless.
And when we muse on that glad meeting With those we lost, mid tears and pain, We pray: “O God, awake the sleeping, And bring them to our arms again.”
“Hasten the time when, nature failing, Shall usher in the day sublime, When strong o’er all His foes prevailing, The Lord shall come the second time.”
