Maranatha

by BELTON, J. | Category: General | Oct 1957

Christian soldier, what the hope

That spurs thee on thy way?

What the light that gleams afar

To cheer thee day by day?

What the anchor of thy soul?

Thy haven of retreat?

Tossed by storms, enswathed in mists,

Say, whom wilt thou entreat?

Lift thine eyes above, beyond

The confines of this earth;

Pierce the skies and see enthroned

Our Lord, of matchless worth:

Know assuredly He comes

Back to earth again;

MARANATHA," Christ returneth,

As the KING to reign!

This thy watchword be, 0 Christian,

As thou travellest on

MARANATHA "-always, only,

Till the journey's done.
