The Angels below.
Prepare! Prepare you glitt'ring Orbs above!At decent distance roll away!
Let onely purest Ether stay!
Let envious Clouds remove!
All ye bright Guards his Way prepare!
Sweep with your Purple Wings the Air!
The King of Glory's entring there!
The Angels above.
Say you! for surely you must know,Say you who keep perpetual Guard below,
What God, what Hero is't you bring;
What wond'rous King?
The Angels below.
'Tis He who lately Triumph'd o'er the Grave;Who drags the King of Pride along,
With ease the stronger binds the Strong,
And Death and Hell his Slave!
Whom all the heav'nly Warriors sing,
Their Trophies to his Footstool bring;
The Conq'ring God, the wond'rous King!
