Malachi 4:5: Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, &c

Once He in the Baptist came,
And virtue's paths restored.
Pointed sinners to the Lamb,
Forerunner of his Lord:
Sent again from paradise,
Elijah shall the tidings bring,
"Jesus comes! ye saints, arise.
And meet your heavenly King!"
Previous to the dreadful day
Which shall Thy foes consume,
Jesus, to prepare Thy way,
Let the last prophet come;
When the seventh trumpet's sound
Proclaims the grand sabbatic year.
Come Thyself, with glory crown'd,
And reign triumphant here.
