Going—each living soul,
To its long, long home,
In heaven so bright,
To walk in light;
Or wake in hell
Lamenting.
Coming—the joyful day,
And the dark, dark night,
With Christ to dwell,
His praise to tell;
Or with the lost
Repenting.
Going—the gospel call,
With the good, good news,
Salvation free,
“Come unto Me,”
Or meet the wrath
Awaiting.
Coming—the Son of Man,
In His bright glory
To Judge the earth.
Have you “new birth?”
Or with the world
Partaking?
Going—the present time
In a little while.
Are you going?
Without knowing?
Or is your hope
Abiding?
Coming—eternal age
With its endless years;
With Christ forever
To live together;
Or with the lost
Residing.
