THE DAY OF REDEMPTION

Nations are breaking, 
Israel’s awakening,
The signs that the prophets foretold;
The Gentile days numbered,
with horrors encumbered;
Eternity soon will unfold.

CHORUS
The day of redemption is near,
Men’s hearts are failing for fear,
Be filled with the Spirit,
your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up!
Your redemption is near.

The fig tree is growing;
Jerusalem’s restoring,
Her national life, long dethroned;
Today she is calling,
her latter rain’s falling,
Return, O dispersed, to your own.

Heaven’s powers are shaking,
and many are mistaking
God’s meaning to be of the sky;
God’s Church is the power
that’s shaking this hour:
The day of redemption is nigh.

False prophets are lying,
God\'s Truth they’re denying
That Jesus the Christ is our God;
Though this generaton spurns
God’s revelation,
We’ll walk where the apostles
have trod.
