O'er all the land have the signs now appeared, Telling us soon our dear Saviour will come; Long has the worn pilgrim watched, hoped, and feared, Waiting for that blessed hope; O come, Saviour, come.

Sound forth the tidings, long, loud, and clear; Jesus is coming, and soon will appear; All hearts respond as we long for our home, "Quickly come, O blessed Jesus, come, Saviour, come."

Signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, Faithfully show that the great day is near; Nations distressed by the rumors of wars, And the hearts of wicked men are failing for fear.
