John: Greater things Nathanael view'd

Greater things Nathanael view'd
When heaven he saw thrown wide,
Saw the Son of man and God
On wings of cherubs ride,
Israel's car and steeds of fire
For Israel's glorious King sent down,
Christ with all the' angelic choir
Returning to His throne.

These the greater things which I
Even I expect to see;
Christ descending from the sky
In beauteous majesty.
With His bright angelic train
While all His saints behold Him near,
I shall see my Lord again.
And in His sight appear.

Israel spiritually renew'd
In love, and pure in heart,
We shall meet and clasp our God,
And never never part;
Midst the' acclaiming hosts ascend,
With all the clarions of the sky.
Rapt to bliss which cannot end,
To life which cannot die.
