The coming events of the kingdom of God
1
The coming events of the kingdom of GodCast in glory their shadows before;And my being would leap from its prisoned abode,And the King in his beauty adore.
2
He comes, and the Spirit that lingers below,In the hearts of the chosen and tried,Is quickened, and tells in its mystical flow,The approach of the Bridegroom and Bride.
3
The love and the joy and the peace of the blest,Like the day-star, arise in the soul,And we taste the first-fruits of the Eden of rest,And we hasten to enter the goal.
