Hymn Context Compare
The day will come when signs these be;
In dai­ly splen­dor glows,
start
Rejoiceth on his way,
The sun gives us light, warms us just right.
Strong in spirit, full of grace;
The sun shall set in end­less night,
Signs in the dark­ened sun,
He fills the sun with morn­ing light;
Behind a cloud

The moon

The stars with­drawn, the heav’ns in flame;
On earth its light be­stows.
When all the birds had fled,
In si­lent pomp dis­play.
The stars stay right where God put them there.
These are overcoming saints.
The shat­tered earth’s foun­da­tions groan,
Signs in the swift­ly fall­ing stars,
His mer­cies ev­er shall endure,
And a voice sweet,
