Perilous Times.

MEN's hearts now failing them for fear, Proclaims the second advent near; Saints, lift your heads, the land descry, Lo! your redemption draweth nigh.

Watch, watch and pray; the day is near, The King of kings will soon appear; Earth's stormy night will soon be o'er, Then we shall sigh and weep no more.

Be thou O God our help and shield, That we may ne'er to Satan yield, O guide us by thine own right hand, That we may safely reach that land.

In fierce temptation's trying hour, Keep thine elect from Satan's power. Tear every idol from its throne, And reign, dear Saviour, reign alone.

Through this dark world of sin and strife, We'll cling to thee, our hope and life. O Saviour, thou our solace be, And we will ever trust in thee.

Lord, haste the day when we shall be, From sin and pain and sorrow free. Come rescue from death's dark domain, That we may rise with thee to reign.

Then with that holy, happy band, That shall inherit Caanan's land, Where tears shall all be wiped away, We'll sing thy praise through endless day.
