Tune: Bristol
('Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes')
Matthew 24 v.27-31
********
For as lightning flashes from east
And shines e'en to the west
So shall coming of Jesus be
The Son of man is He
Wherever there a carcase be
There vultures gather, see
And after troubles in last days
Change in celestial ways
For sun shall be darkened, and moon
Light shall be dimmed, it soon
Stars fall from heaven, its powers
Be shaken in those hours
And then shall appear sure the sign
Of the Son of man fine
Sign in heaven, then all tribes mourn
For when they did Him scorn
Son of man comes in heaven's clouds
With power, great glory shrouds
And He shall send out His angels
Great sound of trumpet hails
Angels gather His chosen ones
They be His daughters, sons
Gathered from four winds, they be sure
Now with their Lord e'ermore

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. Verse 2: Soon after Jesus' earthly days, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. They had vultures (or eagles) on their banners. A commentary suggests this is as symbolic vultures/eagles converging on the 'corpse' of Jerusalem. It many be similar to 'bees swarming round a honey-pot'
