Hymns on the Trinity, 16

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

We wait for the returning
Of our great God and Saviour.
Our dying God
Who by His blood
Procured His Father's favour:
Jesus, the true Jehovah,
The Man to sinners given,
Triumphant here
Shall soon appear,
And take us up to heaven.

With glorious pomp descending
To crown our expectation,
Him we shall see,
And shout 'Tis He,
The God of our salvation!
The God from everlasting,
Almighty to deliver,
Around His throne
Our songs shall own
The God that reigns for ever.
