Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10300 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 He comes, the royal conqueror comes,
His legions fill the sky;
Angelic trumpets rend the tombs,
And loud proclaim Him nigh.
2 Ye rebel hosts, how vain your rage
Against this sovereign Lord!
What madness bears you to engage
The terrors of His sword?
3 Bring forth, He cries, those sons of pride,
That scorned My gentle sway,
To prove the arm they once defied
Omnipotent to slay.
4 Tremendous scene of wrath divine!
How wide the vengeance spreads!
His pointed darts of lightning shine
Round their defenseless heads.
5 Now let the rebels seek that face
From which they cannot flee!
And thou, my soul, adore the grace
That sweetly conquered thee. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD MARTYRS
