Second Sunday in Advent, No. 2
From The Poetical Works of Reginald Heber (Lansdowne Poets)
In the sun and moon and stars
Signs and wonders there shall be;
Earth shall quake with inward wars,
Nations with perplexity.
Soon shall ocean's hoary deep,
Tossed with stronger tempests, rise;
Darker storms the mountain sweep,
Redder lightning rend the skies.
Evil thoughts shall shake the proud,
Racking doubt and restless fear;
And amid the thunder-cloud
Shall the Judge of men appear.
But though from that awful face
Heaven shall fade and earth shall fly,
Fear not ye, His chosen race, —
Your redemption draweth nigh!
