Hymns on the Trinity, 51

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jehovah by Himself hath sworn,
(Jehovah in the' eternal Son,)
All flesh shall to their God return,
And stand arraign'd at Jesus' throne:
When the descending Judge they see,
Before My dread tribunal bow'd,
All shall at last acknowledge Me,
And every tongue confess to God.

He could not by a greater swear;
For Jesus is the Lord most high:
And we who trust His oath, prepare
To meet our Saviour in the sky:
We then around His throne shall sing.
Improvers of the' angelic strains.
Jesus the saints' triumphant King
The' almighty God for ever reigns!
