2 Thessalonians 1:7: To you who are troubled rest with us

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Jesus the righteous Judge shall come,
And all His wicked foes consume
In flaming fire reveal'd from heaven;
Assign their lot with fiends abhorr'd,
Far from the presence of the Lord
To everlasting torments driven.
Then we whose flesh is troubled here,
Shall glorious with our Head appear,
And find our place prepared above;
And spend on our Redeemer's breast
A whole eternity of rest,
A whole eternity of love.
