Hear o nations <br />The Lord is with you, <br />Hear o Zion <br />The rivers are overflowing <br />The tides are high; <br />Rend your hearts; <br />The time is nearing. <br /> <br />Gather the children, <br />take them to the rooftops. <br />Let the elders pray, <br />The young men <br />Play the flutes; <br />Daughters collect <br />The candle-sticks; <br />Hear I come. <br /> <br />Wicked men shiver; <br />Oppressor-man quiver <br />On this your last day.<br /><br />Buxton Shippy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hear-i-come/
