The Night Cometh.

TIME's sun is fast setting, Its twilight is nigh, Its evening is falling In cloud o'er the sky; Its shadows are stretching In ominous gloom; Its midnight approaches, The midnight of gloom. Then haste, sinner, haste! there is mercy for thee, And wrath is preparing—flee, lingerer, flee.
The vision is nearing The Judge and the throne! The voice of the angel Proclaims, "It is done." On the whirl of the tempest Its Ruler shall come, And the blaze of his glory Flash out from its gloom. Then haste, sinner, haste! there is mercy for thee, And wrath is preparing—flee, lingerer, flee.
With clouds He is coming! His people shall sing; With gladness they hail him Redeemer and King. The iron rod wielding, The rod of his ire, He cometh to kindle Earth's last, fatal fire. Then haste, sinner, haste! there is mercy for thee, And wrath is preparing—flee, lingerer, flee. —Sel.
