Udgorn Seion, 1852:354-55
VERSES.
The
blessed time is drawing nigh,
Jesus
will soon reign
From
sea to sea, in everlasting peace,
From
the rising to the setting of the sun.
[p. 355]
The
stone cut without hands,
In
the mighty kingdom will soon come;
The
idol and its great glory,
Will
be ground like dust to the ground.
All
the traditions of the world now,
And
the refuge of the great deceit of the enemy,
The
day of persecution has come for them,
They
dare not hide anywhere.
The
distant isles will come before long
To
possess and embrace the truth;
And
the deceit of places across the earth,
Has
expanded the day of the heavenly dawn.
Like
the light of day from yonder east,
Becomes
stronger and stronger in its radiance;
May
the coming of the Son of Man—amen, says my dear soul,
Be
in the same way.
O
come, blessed day,
To
set free the beloved of God;
The
brilliance of thy swift coming
Will
cause my heart to rejoice.
Down,
down Babylon
will come,
The
thrones of the world falling before them;
Violence
and oppression will be no more,
And
the children of captivity will be set free.
All
the kingdoms of this earth,
The
proud crowns of the whole world,
The
empires, despite their size,
Will
all come into the possession of the saints.
The
saints will be free from the great affliction,
Not
one will be seen weeping now;
Their
sighs are now songs,
And
their profound sorrow will turn to rejoicing.
The
groans of the saints, and all their grief,
Will
be heard no more—all will be gone forever;
Heaven
and earth will be glad,
And
the worlds will rejoice.
DEWI
ELFED.
