The time is soon coming, by the prophets foretold,
When Zion in purity the world shall behold.
When Jesus' pure testimony will gain the day,
Denominations, selfishness, will vanish away.

Let all who would wish to see Millennium begin,
Come out and be separate from sinners and sin,
As soon as the churches are redeemed from sin,
The day of the Millennium will surely begin.
