The Coming Of The Lord

Author: Eliza H. Morton Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Do you hear the mighty clashing Refrain First Line: Oh, the coming, oh the coming Lyrics: 1 Do you hear the mighty clashing Of the thoughts of men of power? Do you see the omens thickening Of a crisis every hour? What is this? and what the other? Why this strange unrest abroad? Ah, the signs foretell the coming, Yes, the coming of the Lord. Refrain: Oh, the coming, oh the coming, All the signs foretell the coming, Yes, the coming of the Lord. Oh, the coming, oh the coming, All the signs foretell the coming, Yes, the coming of the Lord. 2 All the plans of social schemers, All the struggles of the years, All the odes of poet dreamers Are obscured with doubts and fears. And the world is waiting, breathless, For an evolution vast: Wrought in God, and like an anchor, In a mighty current cast. [Refrain] 3 What the outcome of the conflict? What the end, ah, who can say? We may read in living letters, We may know, yea, know today! More than mortal words proclaim it, Revelations from our God, All the signs foretell the coming, Yes, the coming of the Lord. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Do you hear the mighty clashing] Text Sources: Triumphant Songs No. 4 by Edwin O. Excell (Chicago: E. O. Excell, 1894)
