Remembering the Lord Jesus

Verse 1

Thus we commemorate the day, On which our dearest Lord was slain; Thus we our pious homage pay, Till he appears on earth again.

Verse 2

Come, great Redeemer, open wide The curtains of the parting sky; On a bright cloud in triumph ride, And on th wind's swift pinions fly.

Verse 3

Come, King of kings, with thy bright train, Cherubs, and seraphs, heavenly hosts; Assume thy right, enlarge thy reign, As far as earth extends her coasts.

Verse 4

Come, Lord, and where thy cross once stood, There plant thy banner, fix thy throne; Subdue the rebels by thy word, And claim the nations for thy own.
