“I’ll Come Again”
"I'LL come again,”
The very same,
As when I went away.
My signs I'll show,
That you may know,
The nearness of that day.
The sun so bright,
Shall not give light,
The moon shall darkened be;
The stars shall all,
Like green figs fall,
When shaken from the tree.
Now no one need
To be deceived,
By those who falsely cry:
"Lo, Christ has come!
I am the one,"
For they these truths deny.
I come not in
The desert lone,
Nor in the secret chamber;
As lightnings flash
Forth from the east,
I'll come your Lord and Saviour.
Now if you heed
What I have said,
The signs, which I have given,
When I shall come
I'll take you home,
To dwell with me in heaven.
No sorrow there,
No woe nor care,
Shall mar thy perfect bliss;
But joys untold
Shall fill thy soul,
In brighter worlds than this.
L. J. K.
