<p>Mistful are our waiting eyes,<br>
As of them who saw Him rise<br>
From that mountain to the skies.<br>
Then the holy angels near<br>
Gave them tidings of good cheer:<br>
&#8220;Jesus shall again appear.&#8221;</p>
<p>And we wait an angel&#8217;s cry,<br>
Piercing earthward from the sky:<br>
&#8220;Now, behold your Lord is nigh!&#8221;<br>
Yet, who shall abide that day,<br>
When the Judge with dread array<br>
Comes for universal sway?</p>
<p>Dreadly shall His summons sweep,<br>
Heard by those who wake or sleep,<br>
On the height or in the deep:<br>
Heard by Life &#8217;mid all its bloom,<br>
Heard by Death in every tomb&#8212;<br>
Terrible decree of doom.</p>
<p>For the gathered souls who stand,<br>
Waiting that supreme command,<br>
He shall part on either hand.<br>
To those souls of quick and dead,<br>
&#8220;Come,&#8221; shall be the blessing said,<br>
&#8220;Go,&#8221; shall be the cursing dread.</p>
<p>Lord, dwell in us now, we pray,<br>
That, in the dividing day,<br>
We be not the cast away!<br>
So shall we till Thou appear<br>
Blend, in longing eye and ear,<br>
Holy joy with holy fear!</p>
