’Twill come, for so has Heaven decreed;
To prayer and watchfulness betake thee:
’Twill come, for what our Lord hath spoken
Shall stand, although it long delay;
Though heaven and earth shall pass away,
Our Saviour’s word shall not be broken.
The Lord to judgment comes, awake!
Arrayed in majesty transcendent;
Accursed sinners groan and quake,
Awed by his countenance resplendent:
