Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Reginald Heber, in the Christian Observer, October 1811.
Music: "Erfurt," Geistliche Lieder (Leipzig, Germany: 1539)
The Lord will come! the earth shall quake,
The hills their fixèd seat forsake;
And, withering from the vault of night,
The stars withdraw their feeble light.
The Lord will come! but not the same
As once in lowly form He came,
A silent Lamb to slaughter led,
The bruised, the suffering, and the dead.
The Lord will come! a dreadful form,
With wreath of flame, and robe of storm,
On cherub wings, and wings of wind,
Anointed Judge of humankind.
Can this be He once wont to stray
A pilgrim on the world's highway,
By power oppressed, and mocked by pride
O God! is this the Crucified?
Go, tyrants, to the rocks complain!
Go, seek the mountain's cleft in vain!
But faith, victorious o'er the tomb,
Shall sing for joy, "The Lord is come!"
