Verse 1
Quick as the darted lightning flies,
Flashing at once throughout the skies,
Saviour, thou wilt on earth appear,
To ’stablish thy dominion here:

Verse 2
Before the final, general doom,
We know, thou wilt to judgment come,
Thy foes destroy, thy friends maintain,
And glorious with thine ancients reign.

Verse 3
Now, even now thy saints attend,
To see thee on the clouds descend!
Now, Lord, assert thy right divine,
And challenge all the worlds for thine.
