Come, eternal King, surrounded

Verse 1
Come, eternal King, surrounded
With the hosts thy hands have made,
Let the sun and moon confounded
At thy bright appearing fade,
Sink before thee
Darkned into midnight shade.

Verse 2
In his capitol descending
Look we for the Son of man,
Sure of raptures never ending,
When we meet our Lord again:
Come, Jehovah,
Present with thine ancients reign.

Verse 3
Vessels of thy free election
When thine elders reign with thee,
Children of the resurrection
When the saints thy glory see,
Then remember,
Then appoint a throne for me.

Verse 4
Haste ye ministerial Spirits
Thither bear us on your wings
Where our friends thare Crounds inherits
Where our old companion Sings
Bows to Jesus
King of all the heavenly kings.

Verse 5
Jesus now assume thy power
Alpha and Omega be
Now let every knee adore the [thee]
Every eye thy kingdom see
With thine antients
Reign thro’ all eternity.
