THE COMING KING.

“Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty.” Isa. 33:17.
I shall see Him! I shall see Him! Whom my soul hath long adored; See the King in all His beauty To His royal right restored. He who once, despised, rejected, On the cross was left to die, Soon shall reappear in glory, For His coming draweth nigh.
I shall see Him! I shall see Him! O, the rapture of the thought! These same eyes shall soon behold Him Who with blood my pardon bought; For we've seen the signs of promise, We have heard the “midnight cry.” Haste, my soul, go forth to meet Him, For His coming draweth nigh.
I shall see Him! I shall see Him! Praise the Lord! ’twill not be long; Heralded by heavenly minstrels, Welcomed by the blood-washed throng, He’ll return the selfsame Jesus, From the glory-mantled sky. Wake, ye saints! arouse! be ready! For His coming draweth nigh!
