Comes the Clarion Call - a Repost
Time comes when we shall hear the sounding chime
Calling us to eternity’s banquet hall--
Signaling forever the end of this life’s earthly clime.
We would one and all ignore the upward climb,
Refusing to willingly respond to the call
Time comes when we shall hear the sounding chime.
Why do we turn away from the light sublime,
Which from time immemorial has beckoned all,
Signaling forever the end of this life’s earthly clime?
Seems whatever age, we are always in our prime,
Whether young or old, weak or strong, short or tall
Time comes when we shall hear the sounding chime.
Deceiving ourselves we think it ne'er sounds the time
For other's souls only comes the clarion call,
Signaling forever the end of this life's earthly clime.
Foolish thinking that never will come the time
That we can forever avoid the mourning at the pall,
Time comes when we shall hear the sounding chime
Signaling forever the end of this life’s earthly clime.
