Redemption draweth nigh; Now breathes a softer air, Now shines a milder sky; The early trees put forth Their new and tender leaf; Hushed is the moaning wind That told of winter's grief. 2 Lift up your heads, rejoice! Redemption draweth nigh; Now mount the laden clouds, Now flames the darkening sky; The early scattered drops Descend with heavy fall, And to the waiting earth The hidden thunders call. 3 Lift up your heads, rejoice! Redemption draweth nigh; O note the varying signs Of earth and air and sky; The God of glory comes In gentleness and might, To comfort and alarm, To succor and to smite. 4 He comes, the wide world's King; He comes, the true heart's friend, New gladness to begin, And ancient wrong to end; He comes to fill with light The weary, waiting eye; Lift up your heads, rejoice! Redemption draweth nigh. Amen. Scripture: Luke 21:27 Used With Tune: BLESSED HOME
