[Once He in the Baptist came]
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, &c.
—iv. 5.
Once He in the Baptist came,
And virtue's paths restored,
Pointed sinners to the Lamb,
Forerunner of his Lord:
Sent again from paradise,
Elijah shall the tidings bring,
“Jesus comes! ye saints, arise,
And meet your heavenly King!”
