Mount Olivet

The Watchman's Testimony: "The morning cometh." Isa. 21.

The Angels' Testimony: "This same Jesus, which is taken up from you

into heaven, shall so come in like manner." Acts 1.

The Lord's Testimony: "I will come again, and receive you unto my

self; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14.

Soon will the morning come,

With beams of bright array;

Soon will be heard the watchman's cry,

"Behold the break of day!

"Awake, the morning's come!

Arise, O sleeper thou?

The Lord Himself from heaven descends,

The King of glory now.

"Behold the opening sky!

He comes, He comes again,

With cloudless morning, bright and fair,

Like shining after rain."

Midst all Thy hallowed scenes

Around mount Olivet

My spirit lingers, Lord, for Thee,

Thy morning smile to get.

For Him alone I gaze,

The Bridegroom from on high,

Descending with archangel's voice

His Bride to glorify.

Soon shall I hear His shout,

The trump of God, the Word;

And in the twinkling of an eye

Ascend to meet my Lord.

O Jesus, come, and bring

Thy saints that sleep in Thee,

To join the living in the air

In rapturous unity!

From mansions long prepared,

Through Salem's deathless love,

Return, return, O Lord, how long!

And take Thy Bride above. C. F. C.
