Signs in the Pestilence

lyricist: Mark Forscutt, 1870
Composer: William Monk, 1875

Signs in the pes­ti­lence

Signs in the ocean’s swell

Signs in the fa­mine’s death-like stealth

Th’ap­proach­ing end fore­tell.

Signs in the fears of men

Signs in their rage for war

Signs in their ge­ne­ral ar­ma­ment

These

last-day to­kens are.

Signs in the dark­ened sun

Signs in the moon of blood

Signs in the swift­ly fall­ing stars

Signs all or­dained by God.

Signs in the weal and woe

Of Is­ra­el ga­ther­ing home

Signs in the truth re­vealed and preached

The lat­ter days have come.
