Time now is closing; Jesus will come

1

Time now is closing; Jesus will come:Signs are fulfilling, earth's pillars groan:Hark! hear the trumpet calls "come home;"—See earth reeling to her final doom.

2

See slumbering millions rise from the earth;Christ calls his people from south, from north:"Come home, my people, time is no more;You've washed your robes white, your conflicts now are o'er."

3

Hastening to see thee, my soul would riseTo meet my Saviour in yonder skies;With all the faithful who've lived before,There I shall hail thee on that peaceful shore.

4

O, there'll be glory, joy, peace, and love;Nothing to harm us in heaven above:O, let us be faithful, and we'll be blest,When Jesus calls us to eternal rest.
