The Coming of Christ
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Grace and peace from our Lord,
Who is and was and will be;
From the spirits in one accord,
As before His throne to see.
From Christ the faithful witness,
And the firstborn of the dead;
Ruling spiritual fitness,
Upon the throne as the head.
Unto Him who has loved us,
By His blood freed us from sin;
A kingdom as priests as thus,
Glory to rule from within.
For dominion forever,
Priests to God our Father;
Glory that will not sever,
To help us realize further.
He is coming with the clouds,
As every eye will see Him;
Visible to all the crowds,
Stopping them from feeling grim.
All the tribes on earth will wail,
Even those that had punctured;
Evil will suddenly fail,
And those who had tortured.
The Alpha and Omega,
Who was and is and shall be;
For ending any trauma,
Our Lord God Almighty
