THE END OF ALL THINGS.

By Charlotte Elliott

“The end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.”—1 Pet. 4:7.
The end of all things is at hand, The end of each relation here— Nor kindred tie, nor friendship’s band, However strong, however dear, But must at one fell stroke be riven, Unless their roots be fix’d in Heaven.
The end of all things is at hand, The end of our probation’s space, None then can linger on the strand, Nor for repentance find a place. Hark! how it sounds along the shore! Then time shall be no more—no more.
The end of all things is at hand; The end of pain, the end of sin; Of exile in this foreign land, Assaults without, and strife within; The end of Satan’s short-lived hour, The end of death’s terrific power.
The end of all things is at hand; Yes, of our faith the end draws nigh: Now watching, waiting, Lord, we stand, Soon will thy glory meet our eye; Amidst creation’s funeral wail Thy longed-for advent we shall hail. —Charlotte Elliott.
