The Watchman’s Testimony: “The morning cometh.”-Isa. 21.
The Angels’ Testimony: “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner.”-Acts 1.
The Lord’s Testimony: “I will come again, and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also.”-John 14
Soon will the morning come,
With beams of bright array;
Soon will be heard the watchman’s cry,
“Behold the break of day!
“Awake, the morning’s come!
The Lord Himself from heaven descends,
“Behold the opening sky!
He comes, He conies again,
With cloudless morning, bright and fair,
Like shining after rain.”
Midst all Thy hallowed scenes
My spirit lingers, Lord, for Thee,
Thy morning smile to get.
The Bridegroom from on high,
Descending with archangel’s voice
Soon shall I hear His shout,
The trump of God, the Word;
And in the twinkling of an eye
Thy saints that sleep in Thee,
To join the living in the air
From mansions long prepared,
Through Salem’s deathless love,
Return, return, O Lord, how long!
And take Thy Bride above.
