[Verse 1]
D
The nations are breaking
G
And Israel's awaking
D
The signs in the Bible
A
Fore-told;
A7
The Gentile days numbered
G
With horrors encumbered
D A
Et-ernity soon will
D
Un-fold
[Chorus]
G
The day of redemption
D
is near
E7
Men's hearts are
E A
failing for fear
A7
Be filled with the spirit
G D Em
Your lamps trim'd and clear
G
Look up!
A D
Your redemption is near
[Verse 2]
D
The fig tree is growing
G
Jerusalem's restoring
D
Her national life, long
A
Dethroned
A7
Today she is calling
G
Her latter rain's falling
D A
"Return, O dispersed
D
to your own"
[Verse 3]
D
Heaven's powers are shaking
G
And many are mistaking
D
God's meaning to be
A
Of the sky
A7
God's church is the power
G
That's shaking this hour
D A
The day of redemption
D
Is nigh
[Verse 4]
D
False prophets are crying
G
And men are denying
D
That Jesus the Christ
A
Is our God
A7
Though this generation
G
Spurns God's revelation
D A
We'll walk where the Apostles
D
Have trod
