<p>Light in the eastern sky, Jesus returning!<br>
|
|
Light in the western sky, Jesus is near!<br>
|
|
Soon shall the nations, His advent discerning,<br>
|
|
Hail Him with gladness, or see Him with fear.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Lord, by Thy hands that were nail pierced and torn:<br>
|
|
Lord by the crown that they wove of the thorns:<br>
|
|
Lord, by Thy passion in Gethsemane:<br>
|
|
Christ of all tenderness, plead Thou for me!</p>
|
|
<p>Bright be our lamps as we watch for the dawning,<br>
|
|
Girded our loins, that our strength may not fail;<br>
|
|
So as He shines through the mists of the morning,<br>
|
|
We may be ready to cry Him, “All hail!”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Not as at Nazareth—lowly they found Him;<br>
|
|
He as the Judge cometh back from the sky;<br>
|
|
Borne on the whirlwind, with angels around Him,<br>
|
|
Veiling their face from His glory so nigh.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Judge of the earth, Who in mercy unfailing<br>
|
|
Offered Thyself as atonement for sin,<br>
|
|
In that great day, by Thy love all prevailing,<br>
|
|
Grant us the rest of Thy heaven to win!</p>
