Lo, the glory! Lo, the splendor!
|
|
| 1. | Lo, the glory! Lo, the splendor! |
| | Heaven's Kingdom manifest! |
| | And its glorious King, our Master, |
| | Is by God's appointment blest. |
| | Once in flesh He came so lowly, |
| | Hated and despised by man; |
| | Now He comes again in glory |
| | To fulfill the Kingdom plan. |
| 2. | Going to receive the Kingdom |
| | >From His God, the Ancient of Days, |
| | Now He cometh with the Kingdom |
| | And its glorious, ruling rays. |
| | He's "the Stone" which breaks the |
| | nations |
| | Into pieces lowliest, |
| | Which "a mountain great" becometh |
| | As the Kingdom manifest. |
| 3. | Lo, the earth, all lands and kingdoms, |
| | By the Lord and Christ possessed; |
| | Earth beneath their sovereign ruling |
| | Will be full of peace and rest. |
| | No more war and no more hatred |
| | 'Twixt the nations will there be; |
| | But God's knowledge shall suffuse |
| | them |
| | As the waters fill the sea. |
| 4. | All the Christian overcomers |
| | Shall with Christ in glory reign, |
| | And the remnant saved of Israel |
| | Then God's priesthood shall obtain. |
| | As God's people shall the nations |
| | 'Neath their rule and teaching be, |
| | And a glorious restoration |
| | All creation then shall see. |
| 5. | Satan will be bound and banished; |
| | >From his rule will earth be freed; |
| | With Christ's sovereign reign and |
| | headship |
| | Earth will then be subject, |
| | To His pow'r and to His will; |
| | As the Head and Center glorious, |
| | He God's purpose will fulfill. |
