|
<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>
|
|
“Jesus shall again appear.”</p>
|
|
<p>And we wait an angel’s cry,<br>
|
|
Piercing earthward from the sky:<br>
|
|
“Now, behold your Lord is nigh!”<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 ’mid all its bloom,<br>
|
|
Heard by Death in every tomb—<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>
|
|
“Come,” shall be the blessing said,<br>
|
|
“Go,” 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>
