HYMN XL. THE SAME.
[Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus]
Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus,
Partners in His patience here,
Christ to all believers precious,
Lord of lords, shall soon appear:
Mark the tokens
Of His heavenly kingdom near!
Partners in His patience here,
Christ to all believers precious,
Lord of lords, shall soon appear:
Mark the tokens
Of His heavenly kingdom near!
Hear all nature's groans proclaiming
Nature's swift-approaching doom!
War and pestilence and famine
Signify the wrath to come;
Cleaves the centre,
Nations rush into the tomb.
Nature's swift-approaching doom!
War and pestilence and famine
Signify the wrath to come;
Cleaves the centre,
Nations rush into the tomb.
Close behind the tribulation
Of these last tremendous days,
See the flaming revelation,
See the universal blaze!
Earth and heaven
Melt before the Judge's face!
Of these last tremendous days,
See the flaming revelation,
See the universal blaze!
Earth and heaven
Melt before the Judge's face!
Sun and moon are both confounded,
Darken'd into endless night,
When with angel-hosts surrounded,
In His Father's glory bright
Beams the Saviour,
Shines the everlasting Light.
Darken'd into endless night,
When with angel-hosts surrounded,
In His Father's glory bright
145
Shines the everlasting Light.
See the stars from heaven falling;
Hark on earth the doleful cry,
Men on rocks and mountains calling,
While the frowning Judge draws nigh,
Hide us, hide us,
Rocks and mountains, from His eye!
Hark on earth the doleful cry,
Men on rocks and mountains calling,
While the frowning Judge draws nigh,
Hide us, hide us,
Rocks and mountains, from His eye!
With what different exclamation
Shall the saints His banner see!
By the monuments of His passion,
By the marks received for me
All discern Him,
All with shouts cry out, 'Tis He!
Shall the saints His banner see!
By the monuments of His passion,
By the marks received for me
All discern Him,
All with shouts cry out, 'Tis He!
Lo! 'tis He! our heart's Desire
Come for His espoused below,
Come to join us with His choir,
Come to make our joys o'erflow:
Palms of victory,
Crowns of glory to bestow.
Come for His espoused below,
Come to join us with His choir,
Come to make our joys o'erflow:
Palms of victory,
Crowns of glory to bestow.
Yes, the prize shall now be given,
We His open face shall see;
Love, the earnest of our heaven,
Love our full reward shall be,
Love shall crown us
Kings through all eternity!
We His open face shall see;
Love, the earnest of our heaven,
Love our full reward shall be,
Love shall crown us
Kings through all eternity!
