Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appeared

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 297 hymnals Topics: Christ Second Coming and the Last Judgment of Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appeared before admiring eyes: the former things all passed away, the former earth and skies. From heav’n the new Jerus'lem came, for Christ, as bride prepared. A voice resounding from the throne these wondrous things declared: 2 "Now God has come to dwell with men, and moved his blest abode. His people they shall be at last, and he shall be their God. His gracious hand shall wipe the tears from ev'ry weeping eye, for pain and grief shall be no more, and death itself shall die." 3 The One who sat upon the throne said, "I make all things new! Write down the words that you have heard, for they are firm and true. It is all done, and by my pow'r is paradise restored. I am the First, and I the Last, the one eternal Lord. 4 "Come, all who thirst! To you I will my healing water give. Drink from my fountain without price and so forever live. Blest is the man who, conquering, his heritage has won, for I will be his faithful God and he shall be my son. 5 "As for the vile and faithless ones, those who my will defy are thrown into the burning lake, and death itself shall die." We, too, shall stand before the throne; then shall our names be found recorded in the Book of Life. How shall our joy abound! Scripture: Revelation 21:1-8 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

Say to the nations, Jesus reigns, God's own almighty Son; His power the sinking world sustains, And grace surrounds his throne. Let heav'n proclaim the joyful day, Joy through the earth be seen; Let cities shine in bright array, And fields in cheerful green. Let an unusual joy surprise The islands of the sea: Ye mountains, sink; ye valleys, rise; Prepare the Lord his way. Behold, he comes, he comes to bless The nations as their God; To show the world his righteousness, And send his truth abroad. But when his voice shall raise the dead, And bid the world draw near, How will the guilty nations dread To see their Judge appear! Scripture: Psalm 96:1

Come, my Savior, Thou hast promised, quickly come. Used With Tune: [O'er the distant mountains breaking]
