XXVII.

[Jesus, the true Jehovah, hear!]

I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation i. 8.

Jesus, the true Jehovah, hear!
Jehovah's majesty He claims,
His attributes, and character,
His incommunicable names:
“I am the First and Last, the Lord,
Past, present, and to come am I,
Through all eternity adored,
The one almighty God most high.
“The Source and End of all I am,
Which was, and is, and is to come!”
The trump doth His approach proclaim,
Arise, ye dead, and meet your doom!
Arians, behold His glorious face!
His face ye shall behold no more,
For ever chased to your own place,
While saints in ceaseless songs adore.
