Yea

Holy Je­sus! in the sac­red page

Thy tes­ti­mo­ny rings from age to age:

Of thee did Mos­es write and pro­phets sing

Their glo­ri­ous an­ti­type

their heav­en­ly king.

Thy ad­vent first to suf­fer

love and die

Thy re­sur­rect­ion and as­cent on high

Thy me­di­at­or­ship at God’s right hand

Thy se­cond com­ing to the ho­ly land.

Ye Gen­tile peo­ple! hast­en to ob­ey

Thy Sav­ior’s Word

and search it day by day

Praying that scales and beams may leave your eyes

That ye may see by faith

by faith ye may rise

On ea­gle’s wings to hail th’ap­proach­ing hour

When Christ shall come—in ma­jes­ty and pow­er;

His pre­sence shames the sun

con­founds the moon

While round His brow there shines eter­nal noon!
