Lo, the glory! Lo, the splendor

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: William Pentro Rowlands

Lo

the glory! Lo

the splendor!

Heaven’s Kingdom manifest!

And its glorious King

our Master

Is by God’s appointment blest.

Once in flesh He came so lowly

Hated and despised by man;

Now He comes again in glory

To fulfill the Kingdom plan.

Going to receive the Kingdom

From His God

the Ancient of Days

Now He cometh with the Kingdom

And its glorious

ruling rays.

He’s “the Stone” which breaks the nations

Into pieces lowliest

Which “a mountain great” becometh

As the Kingdom manifest.

Lo

the earth

all lands and kingdoms

By the Lord and Christ possessed;

Earth beneath their sovereign ruling

Will be full of peace and rest.

No more war and no more hatred

’Twixt the nations will there be;

But God’s knowledge shall suffuse them

As the waters fill the sea.

All the Christian overcomers

Shall with Christ in glory reign

And the remnant saved of Israel

Then God’s priesthood shall obtain.

As God’s people shall the nations

’Neath their rule and teaching be

And a glorious restoration

All creation then shall see.

Satan will be bound and banished;

From his rule will earth be freed;

With Christ’s sovereign reign and headship

Earth will then be blessed indeed.

All to Christ will then be subject

To His pow’r and to His will;

As the Head and Center glorious

He God’s purpose will fulfill.
