“What are the signs of Thy coming,
And when shall the end time be?”
Anxious, they questioned the Master,
Curious, even as we.
Are these the signs of His coming
That loom over sea and land,
That darken the earth and the heavens?
Is the day so near at hand?
We know not; He hath not told us
This secret of the Lord,
But all we need He hath left us
To read in His sacred word.
And pulsing through the silence
Like the far, faint throb of a drum;
“Watch, be ye also ready,
For ye know not when I come.”
Sweet as a silver trumpet
Through tumult and clamor clear;
“Watch, be ye also ready,
For the time is drawing near.”
