218. Soon Will the Master Come: Soon Pass Away

10s.

Soon will the Master come: soon pass away
 
Our times of conflict, grief and suffering here;
 
Our night of weeping end in cloudless day,
 
And sorrow’s moment like a dream appear;
 
Eternity — with Jesus — in the skies — 
 
How soon that Sun of righteousness may rise!
“For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” (Hebrews 10:37)
“But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none.” (1 Corinthians 7:29)
2
We shall behold Him, whom not seen we love,
 
We shall be with Him, whom we long to see;
 
We shall be like Him, fit for realms above,
 
With Him, and like Him, for eternity!
 
Is now to sit at Jesus’ feet our choice?
 
How will fruition then our souls rejoice!
“For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.” (Luke 20:38)
