I am reminded of a little chorus and a hymn that I learned 50 years ago:
It might be no more days, It might be eleven;
It might be 22 more days before we hear from heaven.
It might be 33 more days; it might be 44.
It might be 55 more days. It might be even more.
It might be 66 more days it might be 77.
It might be 88 more days before we hear from heaven.
It might be 99 more days, it might be even more.
BUT THIS I KNOW--HE'S COMING SOON, JESUS MY LORD.
All I know is that we're closer to the Lord's return than we were yesterday.
Another song:
It may be at morn when the day is awakening.
It may be at noon when the bright clouds are breaking
It may be at even with the darkness descending
When Jesus shall come in the fullness of glory to receive from the world His own.
Oh, Lord Jesus, how long, how long ere we shout the glad song? CRIST RETURNETH, HALLELEUJAH! HALLELEUJAH, AMEN.
