Daniel 7:18: The saints of the Most High shall take, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

That kingdom of the saints below
To all believers given.
It is not of this world, we know.
But comes with Christ from heaven.
We for no earthly grandeur wait,
No outward wealth or power,
But trust to reign, when pomp, and state,
And pride shall be no more.

That kingdom of the Lord most high
His people shall receive.
And, long before we reach the sky,
With Christ triumphant live:
And I shall reign on earth, possess'd
Of glory in my heart.
For ever, and for ever bless'd
With all Thou hast, and art.
