THE SECOND ADVENT.

By Lilla D. Avery

He’s coming! coming! lo, I see The King of Heaven, in majesty, Descending through the blazing sky, His plumes of victory waving high.
He’s coming! coming! Shout and sing, Loud songs of welcome to our King, Be strong; fear not; we’re going home, The day of recompense has come.
He’s coming! coming! Wake, ye dead! Lift from the dust each weary head, Shout in glad immortality, “O grave, where is thy victory?”
He’s coming! coming! Can it be The same who died on Calvary’s tree? Who once to earth in pity came, For us to suffer death and shame?
Ah, yes! ’tis he our glorious King, The blest reward he comes to bring— A shining crown, a harp of gold, Eternal life, and bliss untold.
No more of sin, no more of woe, Earth’s weary ones will ever know, Then leap, ye lame, and shout, ye dumb, Your great Deliverer has come!
LILLA D. AVERY.
