Kingdom of Christ

Author: Watts Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXII (1792) First Line: Lo what a glorious sight appears Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears To our believing eyes! The earth, and seas are pass'd away, And the old rolling skies. 2 From the third heav'n, where God resides, That holy, happy place, The New Jerusalem comes down, Adorn'd with shining grace. 3 Attending angels shout for joy, And the bright armies sing, "Mortals, behold the sacred seat Of your descending King. 4 The God of glory down to men Removes his blest abode; Men, the dear objects of his grace, And he, the loving God. 5 His own soft hand shall wipe the tears From ev'ry weeping eye; And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, And death itself, shall die." 6 How long, dear Saviour, O how long! Shall this glad hour delay? Fly swifter round ye wheels of time, And bring the welcome day.

Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appeared

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #384 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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!
