YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH. LUKE 21:28.

By N. W. Vincent

BY N. W. VINCENT.

Soon the trump of God will sound, The Archangel's voice be heard, Hearts now pulseless in the ground Soon with throbs of joy be stirred; In a moment then shall we, Who these wonders live to see, Feel the Spirit's quickening might, Be like Christ, all clothed in white.

Angels hastening from the skies Greet God's tried and faithful friends, With them to their Saviour rise— On his smile their joy depends; As they all to Christ repair, Lo, he greets them in the air With a welcome for each one— With the blest, the true “Well done!”

Then the Lord ascends on high, Angels, saints with shouts attend, In bright clouds above the sky, To the pearly gates ascend. See, these portals open wide! Christ, the Bridegroom, takes his Bride! Oh, what happy children we, Saved, in heaven, immortal, free!

Jesus' glory to behold, And God's love-lit face to see! Half these wonders ne'er was told— Themes for all eternity! Brethren now in heaven's high way, Upward look, oh, watch and pray; Ready be, for soon He'll come To receive you to his home.
