“Escape for Thy Life”

By MRS. M. A. LOPER

MRS. M. A. LOPER
“Escape for thy life!” sure destruction is hastening; The heaven-sent message resounds far and near,— The soul-stirring tidings,—time’s last sands are wasting. Flee thou to the Refuge, with all thou hast dear.
“Escape for thy life!” wait not others to pity, Nor tarry thou yet on the dangerous plain. The dread fires of vengeance will sweep the doomed city. Look thou not behind thee to view it again.
“Escape for thy life!” Mercy’s last invitation, The loud cry, is swelling by land and by sea; And soon ev’ry people and kindred and nation Will hear its last echo. O haste thee to flee!
“Escape for thy life!” The sweet “angel of mercy Is folding her beautiful wings to depart.” God’s glory is risen, a halo on Time’s sea. Eternity dawns! Christ is coming! take heart.
