HYMN 146. L.M.
The song of the Redeemed in heaven. (cont.)
8 |
"To him be glory;" and again
Repeat his praise, and say, "Amen!"
|
9 |
O sweet employ, to sing and trace
Th' amazing heights and depths of grace!
To spend, from sin and sorrow free,
A blissful, vast eternity!
|
10 |
O what a grand, exalted song,
When ev'ry tribe and ev'ry tongue,
Redeem'd by blood, with Christ appear,
And join in one full chorus there!
|
11 |
My soul anticipates the day;
Would stretch her wings and soar away,
To aid the song, the palm to bear,
And bow, the chief of sinners, there.
|
HYMN 147. P.M.
Surely I come quickly; Amen, even so, come Lord Jesus.
1 |
LO! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favour'd sinners slain!
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train:
Hallelujah!
Jesus now shall ever reign.
|
2 |
Ev'ry eye shall now behold him
Rob'd in dreadful majesty:
Those, who set at nougt, and sold him,
Pierc'd and nail'd him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the great Messiah see.
|
3 |
Ev'ry island, sea and mountain
Heav'n and earth shall flee away:
All who hate him m,ust, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment!
Come to judgment! come away!
|

HYMN 147. P.M.
Surely I come quickly; Amen, even so, come Lord Jesus.
4 |
Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by men rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air!
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
|
5 |
Answer thine own bride and Spirit;
Hasten, Lord, and quickly come!
The new heav'n and earth t'inherit,
Take thy weeping exiles home:
All creation
Travels, groans, and bids thee come!
|
6 |
Yeah! amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine exalted throne!
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory:
Claim the kingdoms for thine own!
O come quickly,
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come!
|
