Lyics

THUS saith the Church's Head,
Judge of the quick and dead,
"Quickly I come.
"Let me redeemed pray,
"'O Lord, make no delay;
"'Hasten that happy day;
"'Lord, quickly come.'"


Let us, with one accord,
Shout our returning Lord;
Welcome him near.
Soon shall he come again,
Soon shall his foes be slain;
Soon he'll appear.


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."
