He Will Come Again

By Mrs. Luvernia Cowan

Acts 1:9-11

"Ye men, why stand ye gazing up in a cloudless sky? Why is your heart so troubled? why tears bedim your eye? Know not ye this same Jesus who walked with you to-day, Will come again, in glory, at the closing of the day?

"Cease, then, from sad repining, and wipe away your tears. This glorious second coming is yet for many years. Go, write the words He gave you, and bind them in a book, And pass it down through ages. He told you when to look."

The faithful men departed, and well performed their task; The mighty truth they taught us, no evil cloud can mask. And as we read the pages o'er we know that it is true, And soon this blessed Saviour will come for me and you.

There's a foe to conquer, a call for volunteers; In every tongue and nation, a sign for God appears. Gird on the armor tightly, the fiery darts withstand; The mighty foe's advancing, he's seen on every hand.

Christ is our faithful leader, His Word our shield and sword; God's law the path to guide us, and point us heavenward; When the mighty foe surrounds, and help seems almost flown, Our Saviour then is coming to lead us safely home.
