See in solemn pomp appear,
All His Saints by man rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air;
Alleluia !

See the day of God appear.

High on Thine eternal Throne; H. Saviour, take the power and glory; Claim the Kingdom for Thine own; Alleluia !

F. U. Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone. C. WESLEY.

world is very evil,

The times are waxing late,

1.

Be sober, and keep vigil;

The Judge is at the gate :

The Judge that comes in mercy,

The Judge that comes with might, To stop the course of evil,

To recompense the right.

2. Arise, arise, ye Christians,
Let right to wrong succeed;
Let penitential sorrow

To heavenly gladness lead ;-
To light that has no evening,

That knows nor moon nor sun,
The light so new and golden,
The light that is but one.
3. O home of fadeless splendour,
Of flowers that hide no thorn,
Where they shall dwell as children
Who here as exiles mourn ;

'Midst power that knows no limit, Where wisdom has no bound, The Beatific Vision

Shall gladden all around.

4. O happy, holy portion,

Refection for the blest,
True vision of true beauty,
True cure of the distrest!
O strive to win that glory;
O toil to gain that light;
Send hope before to grasp it,
Till hope be lost in sight.
5. O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessèd country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesu, in mercy bring us

To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest.
