[For lo! the Lord will come]
For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, &c.
—lxvi. 15, 16.
For lo! the Lord will come
Out of His holy place,
With sword and fire destroy, consume
The anti-Christian race!
The' apostates' doom to seal
Loud-thundering from afar
He comes: and furious whirlwinds wheel
Jehovah's rapid car:
Out of His holy place,
With sword and fire destroy, consume
The anti-Christian race!
The' apostates' doom to seal
Loud-thundering from afar
He comes: and furious whirlwinds wheel
Jehovah's rapid car:
468
Before the last great day
He doth His judgments shower,
The wicked sweeps from earth away,
Before the pit devour!
Heaps upon heaps He strews
In the decisive vale;
The vinepress of His wrath o'erflows,
And gives a taste of hell.
He doth His judgments shower,
The wicked sweeps from earth away,
Before the pit devour!
Heaps upon heaps He strews
In the decisive vale;
The vinepress of His wrath o'erflows,
And gives a taste of hell.
