['Tis all our blessed business here]
Then shall they see the Son of Man coming, &c.
—xiii. 26.
'Tis all our blessed business here
To wait till Jesus shall appear,
Descending from His bright abode,
The Son of man, the' eternal God.
To wait till Jesus shall appear,
Descending from His bright abode,
The Son of man, the' eternal God.
We shall behold our Saviour shine,
Girt with omnipotence Divine,
Shall at the trumpet's sound rejoice,
And echo to the' archangel's voice,
Girt with omnipotence Divine,
Shall at the trumpet's sound rejoice,
And echo to the' archangel's voice,
He comes, He comes to fetch His bride!
Even I shall see the heavens thrown wide,
Discern Him on His cloudy car,
And mount and meet Him in the air:
Even I shall see the heavens thrown wide,
Discern Him on His cloudy car,
And mount and meet Him in the air:
And while He ready makes our place
His Spirit in His members prays,
“Appear to take Thine exiles home,
Come quickly, Lord, to judgment come!”
His Spirit in His members prays,
“Appear to take Thine exiles home,
Come quickly, Lord, to judgment come!”
