In the crimson of the morning,
in the whiteness of noon,
In the amber glory
of the day's retreat,
of the day's retreat,
In the midnight,
robed in darkness,
robed in darkness,
or the gleaming
of the moon,
of the moon,
I listen to the coming of His feet.
I heard his weary footsteps
on the sands of Galilee,
On the Temple's
marble pavement,
marble pavement,
on the street,
Worn with
the weight of sorrow,
the weight of sorrow,
faltering up the slopes
of Calvary...
The sorrow of the coming of His feet.
Down the minster
aisles of splendor,
aisles of splendor,
from betwixt
the cherubim,
the cherubim,
Through the
wandering throng,
wandering throng,
with motions strong
and fleet,
and fleet,
Sounds His victor
tread approaching,
tread approaching,
with a music far and dim-
The music of the coming of His feet.
Sandaled not
with sheen of silver,
with sheen of silver,
girded not with woven gold,
Weighted not
with shimmering green
with shimmering green
and odors sweet,
But white-winged
and shod with glory,
and shod with glory,
in the Tabor light of old-
He is coming, O my spirit,
with His everlasting peace,
With His blessedness immortal
and complete;
He is coming, O my spirit,
and His coming brings release-
I listen for the coming of His feet.
-Lyman W. Allen
"...and they will see
the Son of Man coming
on the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory."
Matthew 24:30
Come Soon Lord Yeshua!
