OUR CONQUERING KING.

By Marie L. Le Forge

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." Isa. 65:17.

For many years we've waited To hail our conquering King, When saints shall rise in glory With us to praise and sing; And now that day approaches, Our hearts are beating fast, As Jesus soon will surely come In victory at last.

CHORUS—

Victory at last, friends, Victory at last! In earth made new All hearts so true, Will soon forget the past; Yes, soon forget the past, friends, Soon forget the past, For there's victory, victory, victory, at last!

The earth is waxing weary, And fadeth fast away; Her "haughty people" languish; They fear the coming day; Now, as it draweth nearer, Your hopes on Jesus cast; Our Saviour soon will surely come In victory at last.

Men's hearts are failing them for fear; The nations are distressed; Perplexed the wise and wealthy, The Saviour's poor oppressed; So, as the time draws nearer, Give all to Him thou hast; The Lord will soon most surely come In victory at last.

The judgment in the heavenly courts Draws quickly to an end; Dear soul, have you an Advocate There wisely to defend, That when the day is fully here, Into His kingdom vast The coming Lord may take you home In victory at last?
