The Day of Jubilee

The Fifth Part.

O Blessed Day, how sweet is it
To think upon that time
When Christ shall upon his Throne sit,
And Summer's in its prime.

When all the Earth together shall
Break forth and sweetly sing;
And all Christ's Foes with vengeance fall,
Who own not him for King.

When Saints who now divided are,
Shall all united be;
And in their glitt'ring Robes appear,
And sing in harmony

When Swords and also warlike Spears
Men shall to Plow-shares beat;
And all Men quite be freed from fears,
And from all scorching heat:

And under their own Vines sit down
With hearts full of sweet joy;
O come, Lord Jesus, take the Crown,
O haste and come away.

Wars then we find shall ever cease,
Envy 'mongst Men depart;
Nothing but Love and blessed Peace
In each Believer's heart.

The Lyon and the Lamb shall then
Together feed and ly;
And the like concord amongst Men
Shall then be certainly.
