Behold, from realms of light
Jesus, Thou God of na­tions, bend
Comes, to be glo­ri­fied in you,
O Love of love, flow in!
Salvation shall ob­tain.
Hallelujah!
We have not watched in vain,
A uni­vers­al shout shall rend
As now the sun’s de­clin­ing rays
start
See from the high­est realms of bliss
The wished-for day is come;
In the great mil­len­nial day
Beautiful morn, when we shall see
start
The ob­jects of His love.
His end­less glo­ries sing.
Let the pure ser­aph­ic joy

des­cend

And fill my soul with You this hour;
And all cre­ation makes anew,
His form di­vine with flesh He veils
But not Thy wrath—in mer­cy bless
And bold­ly meet your heav­en­ly friend!
This cloudy cur­tain rend,
Who, hop­ing in Thy Word,
Hallelujah!
In ma­jes­ty to reign.
How grand the pomp of His des­cent!
So life’s brief day is sink­ing down
A nu­mer­ous guard sur­rounds His throne;
Wrapped in the glo­ri­ous theme, the plains
To lead His fol­low­ers home.
Now dis­played with glo­ri­ous pow­er
Coming for us in bliss to reign
By faith and love in ev­ery breast;
From His ce­les­ti­al throne,
In aw­ful ma­jes­ty;
Holiness with­out al­loy,
