Text: | The Lord will come and not be slow |
Author: | John Milton, 1608-1674 |
Tune: | ST STEPHEN |
Composer: | William Jones, 1726-1800 |
1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flow'r,
shall bud and blossom free;
and justice, from her heav'nly bow'r,
bless all humanity.
3 The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
4 For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone.
