COMING AGAIN.

By F. A. Lashier

On Olive's brow there stood two unknown men "Why stand ye gazing to the sky? He'll come again. (Acts 1:11)

"Not as a Babe to all the world unknown, But with a holy angel band, Upon a throne." (Luke 2:7; Matt. 25:31)

And soon He comes again with kingly power, And we may know the time is near, Tho' not the hour. (Luke 21:29-33; Matt. 24:33)

Like servants who with precious gifts to keep Improve each swiftly passing hour, We must not sleep. (Matt. 25:14-29)

"Behold," said He, "the word I speak is true; Fair mansions I will build, and then I come for you. (John 14:1-3)

"Watch, therefore, for the signs that I shall send In sun and moon and stars and earth Before the end. (Luke 21:25-27)

"The sun at midday shall be black as night, The moon as blood shall seem to men, Refuse her light. (Matt. 24:29)

"The stars shall fall as from a shaken tree Tossed by the gale; the waves shall roar Upon the sea. (Rev. 6:13)

"Men's hearts shall fail from unrest and from fear; Have thou no fear but watch and pray, The end is near." (Luke 21:25-31)

Earth, waxing old, shall tremble, groan, and shake, And death shall reign, but soon our Lord His saints shall wake. (Rev. 6:14; 1 Thess. 4:16)

Then free from wasting sorrow, death, and pain, The saints shall greet their Saviour King, With glad refrain.

So shall the saints of God, a ransomed throng, Forever be with Him, and sing Redemption's song. (Rev. 21:1-7)

Freed from all sin, in pastures green to roam, The saints shall know the joy of, "Home, sweet home." (Rev. 22:3-5) Healdsburg, Cal. F. A. LASHIER.
