The Promise

By Iva A. Clute

By Iva A. Clute
We may know that He is coming, We may analyze earth’s strife; They who follow have not darkness, But may have the Light of Life.
Others may grope on in blindness, Knowing not the day-star bright Long since started its ascension, Shedding o’er the world its light.
Ignorance and superstition Mark this age of unbelief; And the Saviour, at His coming, To the world will be a “thief;”
Coming when they least expect Him, When they “Peace and safety” cry, Piling up their mass of riches For the crisis now so nigh.
To the faithful few who know Him, God’s Word says, “It need not be That as to the world about you That bright day to you must be.
“Ye walk not in worldly darkness;” O’er the earth the heralds sing, And we hear the joyous message, “Christ, no longer Priest, but King.”
