R5517-244 Poem: Soon Shall Restitution Glory

::R5517 : page 244::

“SOON shall restitution glory
Bring to earth a blessed rest;
And the poor, and faint, and weary
Shall be lifted up and blest.

“Just beyond the coming trouble
See the reigning Prince of Peace!
Lo! God’s Kingdom now is coming,
And oppression soon must cease.

“Tell how Eden’s bloom and beauty
Once again shall be restored,
Making all man’s wide dominion
As the Garden of the Lord.

“He’s now gath’ring out His jewels,
Those who with Him soon shall reign;
And earth’s weeping and sad farewells
Soon shall change to joyous strain.”
