Nations are breaking, Israel's awaking,
The signs that the prophets foretold;
The Gentile days numbered,
with horrors encumbered;
Eternity soon will unfold.

CHORUS
The day of redemption is near,
Men's hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit,
your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up! Your redemption is near.

The fig tree is growing;
Jerusalem's restoring Her national life,
long dethroned;
Today she is calling,
her latter rain's falling.
Return, O dispersed, to your own.

CHORUS
The day of redemption is near,
Men's hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit,
your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up! Your redemption is near.

Heaven's powers are shaking,
and many are mistaking
God's meaning to be of the sky;
God's Church is the power that's shaking this hour;
The day of redemption is nigh.

CHORUS
The day of redemption is near,
Men's hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit,
your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up! Your redemption is near.

False prophets are lying.
God's Truth they^re denying,
That Jesus the Christ is our God;
Though this generation spurns God's revelation,
We'll walk where the apostles have trod.

CHORUS
The day of redemption is near,
Men's hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit,
your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up! Your redemption is near.
