the Lord is coming quickly

"The Judge of the earth is coming,
The night is nearly spent;
And long hath the cry been given,
To the sons of men 'repent'!

He'll come when he's least expected
When there's mirth on every side,
When the merchant plies his business,
And the bridegroom woos his bride.

When the world, in scorn, is pointing
To the few who watch and wait,
There's a sudden start to terror--
For the Judge is at the gate.

Oh! The Lord is coming quickly,
Though the slumbers grow more deep,
Of the careless world that's lying
In a drunken, dreamy sleep.

And swift will be the awakening,
In an hour they thought secure;
For the vintage is ripening,
And the harvest day is sure."
