The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley

Foretold by the converted seer
The Star is out of Jacob come,
The King from Irsael did appear,
His church's foes received their doom,
And Christ, our manifested God,
Hath Satan with his works destroy'd.

Yet come, Thou radiant morning Star,
Again in human darkness shine;
Arise, resplendent from afar,
Assert Thy royalty Divine,
Thy sway o'er all the earth maintain,
And now begin Thy glorious reign.

Smite down the strength of Moab's pride,
The sons of Sheth their walls o'erthrow,
(Whate'er the world and church divide,)
That every soul its Lord may know,
Thee, Jesus, King of kings adore,
Till time and death shall be no more.
