Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the vivid lightnings flashing,
Turning darksome night to day;
Swift the motion, great the power,
Nothing can obstruct the way;
All creation
Pay their homage and obey.
2 Thus shall spread the glorious Gospel,
To the earth’s remotest bound;
Distant empires, lands and nations,
Soon shall hear the solemn sound;
Darkness fleeing,
Light shall everywhere abound.
3 Grace and mercy then descending,
Shall the stubborn heart subdue,
Christ reveal His great salvation,
To the Gentile and the Jew;
Numerous converts
Shall appear like morning dew.
4 Lo, He comes in state and glory,
Bands celestial line the way;
Saints, go forth and meet your Savior,
And the deepest reverence pay;
Join your triumphs,
Hail the joyful, happy day. Used With Tune: WILDERSMOUTH Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
