13073. Signs In The Pestilence

1 Signs in the pestilence,
Signs in the ocean’s swell,
Signs in the famine’s death-like stealth,
Th’approaching end foretell.

2 Signs in the fears of men,
Signs in their rage for war,
Signs in their general armament,
These, last-day tokens are.

3 Signs in the darkened sun,
Signs in the moon of blood,
Signs in the swiftly falling stars,
Signs all ordained by God.

4 Signs in the weal and woe
Of Israel gathering home,
Signs in the truth revealed and preached,
The latter days have come.
