(Ps. lxiv. 7-10.)

“Christ is coming! let Creation

From her groans and travail cease;

Let the glorious proclamation

Hope restore, and faith increase.

Christ is coming,

Come, thou blessed Prince of peace.”

This brings us to the first of the three constellations or sections of this chapter, which takes up this subject of praise to the Conqueror.
