Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXIX (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: When favored John beheld Lyrics: 1 When favour'd John beheld The visions of the Lord, With admiration fill'd, He heard the Father's word Revealing what his purpose was, And what his love should bring to pass. 2 Thus spake the sov'reign Lord, Whilst on his throne he sat, "Hear ye my faithful word; Behold I will create, And make all things in love anew: Write thou these words, for they are true." 3 When God had thus declar'd The secret of his will, The man who was prepar'd His counsel to fulfil, Emphatically spake to John, And said, "Behold, the work is done: 4 For I the Alpha am, And the Omega too; You, in this sacred name, The finish'd work may view: I, the Beginning and the End Of all the joys which you attend."

When favour'd John beheld

Hymnal: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs #I.XLI (1776) Lyrics: 1 When favour'd John beheld The Visions of the Lord, With Admiration fill'd, He heard the Father's Word Revealing what his Purpose was, And what his Love should bring to pass. 2 Thus spake the sov'reign Lord, Whilst on his Throne he sat, "Hear ye my faithful Word; "Behold I will create, "And make all Things in Love anew: "Write thou these Words, for they are true." 3 When God had thus declar'd The secret of his Will, The Man who was prepar'd His Counsel to fulfil, Emphatically spake to John, And said, "Behold, the Work is done: 4 "For I the Alpha am, "And the Omega too; "You, in this sacred Name, "The finish'd work may view: "I, the Beginning and the End "Of all the Joys which you attend." 5 The Father's great Decree In him is now fulfill'd; In Spirit there we see All Things are reconcil'd, And made comformable to God, Wash'd from all Filth in Jesu's Blood. 6 New Heav'ns and Earth we spy, With Hearts of God inspir'd, Which ancient Prophecy Foretold, and Saints desir'd: That Jesus is this Grace, is true, Where old Things cease, and all is new. 7 New Nature, pure, divine, New Testament and Plan, New Glories on us shine, In Christ the heav'nly Man; Our old Man he was crucify'd, And lost from us when Jesus dy'd. 8 'Tis done, we're made anew, And our Intelligence Receives the Record true; In Spirit we commence That perfect Man, who did proclaim The first and last to be his Name.
