midnight
`` Hast Thou not said , ` Behold , I come quickly ? ' Why then delay the wheels of Thy chariot ? O , Lord , I have waited for Thy salvation . In the night-watches , at midnight , at cock-crowing , and in the morning , have I been mindful of Thee . But chiefly at the dawn hath my soul gone forth to meet Thee , for then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven , and they shall see him coming in the clouds of Heaven , with power and great glory . And he shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet , and they shall gather together His elect from one end of Heaven to the other . '' His eyes glared wildly round , then fell and fastened on the ground , and for a few moments he remained immovable as a statue , after which , with an air of dejection , he turned as if about to enter the hut .
