For soon the time is coming,
The vision, it shall speak,
Let him that readeth, running,
Eternal life now seek.
The vision's for a chosen day,
It soon will come, with no delay.
For Yahweh thus has spoken,
"Yet once, I shake the world,
The heavenly powers are broken,
The seas of nations, hurled".
The hearts of men shall fail for fear,
The judgements of the LORD are near.
Then with the clouds of heaven
The Son of Man they see,
All pow'r to him is given,
To rule in equity.
The glorious Temple now he builds,
With light divine the whole world fills.
The LORD that day remembers,
In ev'ry age the same,
If each His ways considers,
We glorify His Name.
Let's build the house of living stone,
Until He come, and sets His Throne.
Haggai
