Time Now is Closing
 
1. Time now is closing,
Jesus will come;
Signs are fulfilling, earth's pillars groan:
Hark!
Hear the trumpet, calling come home– See earth reeling to her final doom. 
 
2. See slumb'ring millions rise from the earth;
Christ calls His people from south, from north.
Come home, my people, time is no more,
Open wide the everlasting doors. 
 
3. Hast'ning to see Thee, my soul would rise To meet my Saviour in yonder skies;
With all the ransom'd who've gone before,
I shall hail Thee on that peaceful shore. 
 
4. O, there'll be glory, joy, peace and love,
Nothing to harm in heaven above:
Let us be faithful, and we'll be blest,
When He calls us to eternal rest.
