LyicsTHUS saith the Church's Head,
The judge of quick and dead;
Quickly I come:
Let my redeemed pray,
O Lord make no delay;
Thus all my saints shall say,
Lord quickly come.
Let them with one accord,
Shout their returning Lord;
Welcome him near:
Soon shall he come again,
Soon shall we with him reign,
Soon shall his foes be slain,
Soon he'll appear.
Earthquakes and storms attend,
Rocks, hills, and mountains rend;
Who shall abide?
Heavens melt and thunders roar,
Seas swell and rend the shore;
Hope sinks to rise no more;
Rocks cannot hide.
See how the lightnings blaze;
Jesus, this wreath displays;
Vengeance appears:
Lift up your heads on high
You suffering company,
Now your redemption's nigh,
Banish your fears.
Jesus who died for sins,
Now in his glory reigns;
Claiming his own:
Father I will, saith he,
Those thou hast given me,
Should all my glory see;
Sharing my throne.
Let the redeemed throng,
Make sov'reign grace their song;
Mercy adore:
Ascribe salvation
To him who fills the throne,
And to the Lamb alone,
For evermore.
