Lyrics

See, ye heirs of sure sal­va­tion,
Jesu’s most ma­jes­tic grace,
At His final re­ve­la­tion,
While He pom­pous­ly dis­plays
All His glo­ries,
All the God­head in His face!

From the mys­tic vol­ume hear­ing
How His king­dom is re­stored,
Look ye for His last ap­pear­ing:
True to His pro­phet­ic word,
Lo, He com­eth!
Go ye forth to meet your Lord.

To His roy­al pro­cla­ma­tion
Manifested here, at­tend,
In His state of exal­ta­tion
While He doth with clouds des­cend,
Brings the king­dom,
Gives the joy that ne’er shall end.

Power is all to Je­sus giv­en:
All His foes must fall be­fore
The great King of earth and Hea­ven,
When He takes His roy­al pow­er!
Now as­sume it,
Jesus, reign for­ev­er­more!
