#31The Coming Events

1
THE coming events of the kingdom of God, Cast glory its shadows before; And my being would leap from its prison'd abode, And the King in his beauty adore.
2
He comes, and the Spirit that lingers below, In the hearts of the chosen and tried, Is quicken'd and tells, in its mystical flow, The approach of the Bridegroom and Bride.
3
The love, and the joy, and the peace of the blest, Like the day-star, arise in the soul, And we taste the first fruits of the Eden of rest, And we hasten to enter the goal.
4
All glory, all glory, to him that was slain, Who hath wash'd and redeem'd us to God; For he cometh with power in his kingdom to reign, And the earth to his scepter is bow'd.
