he Lord Is Coming.

| The Lord is soon coming,
| The time draweth nigh,
| Oh, haste We, oh, haste We,
For why will ye die
| The Lord in His mercy
| Has plead with you long,
Oh, haste ye, oh, haste We,
And join IN the song.
Soon grace will be over
And Judgment will come,
And you will be judged
BY the deeds you have done;
Make ready your garments,
Prepare for that day,
The Scriptures forewarn you,
No longer delay.
Oh, repent and believe,
Your cross nobly bear,
The Lord even calls you
His glory to share;
But If you deny him
He Will also deny you
When He cometh in His glory
With the Holy Angels, too.
Oh, get ready, OH get ready,
And be numbered with the throng
That shall sing redemption's story
Through the countless ages long,
That shall tread the Golden City
Where the blest forever reign,
Where the tree Of Life Is blooming
No more sorrow, sin, or pain.
Oh then listen to your Shepherd,
Who doth call His wanderers home
To partake Of joys celestial
Around your Heavenly Fathers throne.
Oh receive Him, oh perceive Tim,
Whose voice doth whisper low
TO the Lost ones, and forsaken,
Sunk In sin, and shame, and woe.
He will forgive you, He will heal you,
And you He would have know
Though your sins have been like scarlet
They shall now become like snow.
He was wounded for transgressions,
He was bruised for sins of yours,
For you He bore the cruel cross
And to you offers cures.
viii you turn from sins broad highway
To the marrow way so sure
That shall lead you through the gateway
To the city that Is pure.
Oh. why then will We wander
In sins deceitful ways,
When God in mercy calls you
To serve Him all your days.
To work together with Him
In this great vineyard now,
And teach Lost ones to Jesus
Every knee shall bow.
If you will cease from evil
He will teach you to do well,
On the solid rock He'll place you
As you've heard His servants tell.
He'll preserve, He will keep you,
AS the apple Of His eye,
And will gather you in glory
With the ransomed by and by.
Soon His Israel shall be gathered
From earth's remotest ends
To fulfill the things foretold
By Angels whom God sends.
In the glad, glad song Of ages
In the City of the free,
We shall sing redemption's story
Through the year of jubilee.
Soon the Lamb shall stand on Zion,
Where the living waters run
In the New Jerusalem.
That hath no need for moon or sun.
Come then to the God Of mercy,
Come then to the God Of grace,
Jesus paid you full redemption,
Jesus died for all the race.
Soon He'll gather all the nations
In fierce Amageddon fray,
Soon He'll separate His own sheep
From the wolves so strong to-day.
Soon He'll come to gather Christians
To the realms Of endless day,
soon He'll save the tents Of Judah
Who for us We're cast away.
When the trump of God Is sounding
On the resurrection day,
-here'll be weeping, there'lll be wailing,
For those found In sins dark way.
)h. get ready, oh. get ready
For the Lamb Tor sinners sum,
lie would spare you, He would spare you,
BY His wounds and by His pain;
lend for mercy plead for pardon,
Through His blood once shed for you,
lead for light to guide you onward
To the faithful and the true.
When the wicked look for mountains
And for rocks to hide sins shame,
hey will wish they'd sought the fountain
That cleanses every stain.
II, be wise and seek your savior,
Enter in while yet it's day,
or Gods message plainly warns us
The spirit will not strive Away.
