Isaiah 66:15, 16: For lo! the Lord will come

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

For lo! the Lord will come
Out of His holy place.
With sword and fire destroy, consume
The anti-Christian race!
The' apostates' doom to seal
Loud- thundering from afar
He comes: and furious whirlwinds wheel
Jehovah's rapid car:

Before the last great day
He doth His judgments shower,
The wicked sweeps from earth away,
Before the pit devour!
Heaps upon heaps He strews
In the decisive vale;
The vinepress of His wrath o'erflows,
And gives a taste of hell.
