The Saviour Is Coming.

By Mary A. Davis

REJOICE! for the Saviour is coming. Sound the glad tidings abroad. All ye who are watching and waiting, Make ready to welcome the Lord.
As we read the sweet promise of summer In the opening buds of the trees, Even so, in the earth and the heaven, The signs of his coming we see.
He is coming! a king in his glory, The Lamb who for sinners was slain; No longer for us interceding, On earth he is coming to reign.
Alas! for my robes are not spotless, Alas! for the fine gold is dim, Swiftly the moments are speeding, And I am not ready for him.
Then press thy way now to the fountain, While its waters are flowing so free; Delay not for earth’s vain allurements, The Saviour is pleading for thee.
Haste ye, oh, haste to proclaim it— There’s a refuge for all from the strife Haste ye, there are thousands that perish For a draught from the river of life.
Already the bright beams of morning, Are gilding the hilltops afar. Soon we shall behold in its glory, The rising of Bethlehem’s Star,
