BUT WHO SHALL SEE
But who shall see the glorious day
When, throned on Zion's brow,
The Lord shall rend that veil away
Which hides the nations now?
When earth no more beneath the fear
Of his rebuke shall lie ;
When pain shall cease, and every tear
Be wiped from every eye.
When, throned on Zion's brow,
The Lord shall rend that veil away
Which hides the nations now?
When earth no more beneath the fear
Of his rebuke shall lie ;
When pain shall cease, and every tear
Be wiped from every eye.
Then, Judah, thou no more shalt mourn
Beneath the heathen's chain;
Thy days of splendour shall return,
And all be new again.
The Fount of Life shall then be quaff'd
In peace, by all who come ;
And every wind that blows shall waft
Some long-lost exile home.
Beneath the heathen's chain;
278
And all be new again.
The Fount of Life shall then be quaff'd
In peace, by all who come ;
And every wind that blows shall waft
Some long-lost exile home.
“And he will destroy, in this mountain, the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.” —Isaiah, xxv. 7.
