212- 'Tis Almost Time for the Lord to Come

Jesus Christ: Second Advent

1

  • 'Tis almost time for the Lord to come,
  • I hear the people say;
  • The stars of heaven are growing dim,
  • It must be the breaking of the day.

Refrain

  • O it must be the breaking of the day!
  • O it must be the breaking of the day!
  • The night is almost gone,
  • The day is coming on;
  • O it must be the breaking of the day!

2

  • The signs foretold in the sun and moon,
  • In earth and sea and sky,
  • Aloud proclaim to all mankind,
  • The coming of the Master draweth nigh.

3

  • It must be time for the waiting church
  • To cast her pride away,
  • With girded loins and burning lamps,
  • To look for the breaking of the day.

4

  • Go quickly out in the streets and lanes
  • And in the broad highway,
  • And call the maimed, the halt, and blind,
  • To be ready for the breaking of the day.
