HE WILL COME.

By Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle

ONE by one the moments fly, And the rolling years go by, Soon the glorious Messiah shall appear. Fearful signs on sea and land, Speak his advent near at hand, And the "hearts of men are failing them for fear."
CHORUS : Joy, Oh joy the saints are singing, Cheer up pilgrim, he will come— Free from death, and sin, and care— We will meet him in the air, And we'll ever bask in our eternal home.
Christian raise thy drooping head; For thy blessed King hath said, "I am coming soon to judge the sons of men And I hasten to prepare Mansions beautiful and fair. If I leave you I will surely come again."
CHORUS : Oh! we long to hail that hour, When in majesty and power He shall come with angels beautiful and fair, And the dead shall hear his voice, And the living saints rejoice, And together fly to meet him in the air.
CHORUS : Saviour, come! make no delay; Haste to bring the welcome day, When thy weary ones shall share eternal joy. O, we long to be at rest, In those mansions fair and blest, Where the wily foe can never more annoy. MRS. L. D. A. STUTTLE. Vernon, Mich., Nov. 28, 1879.
