Verse 1
Ye faithful, patient souls, attend
That second coming of your Lord:
Expect him first your sin to end,
To verify his hallowing word:
Your hearts, resolv’d to wait his grace,
Shall perfect in due season be;
And I shall then behold his face,
And dwell in him who dwells in me.
Verse 2
We know, the solemn day draws nigh,
When Jesus shall appear again:
Hasten, O Lord, and bow the sky,
And here begin thy glorious reign,
The number of thy saints compleat;
And let the partners of thy power,
Casting their crowns before thy feet,
On earth,—and then in heaven, adore.
