Mark: Of every promised good our Lord

Of every promised good our Lord
To man vouchsafes an earnest here,
And Tabor doth a glimpse afford
Of what on Zion shall appear,
A glimmering of that brightest day
When Jesus shall His power assume,
His glorious majesty display,
And robed in light, to judgment come.

Jesus, before He sheds His blood
A foretaste of His glory gives.
Appears the true eternal God,
Our faith confirms, our hope revives:
That sweet anticipated sight
Takes off the scandal of His cross,
And arms our souls with love and might
And zeal to die in Jesus' cause.
