The Lord Will Come by John Milton Oct28 The Lord will come and not be slow,his footsteps cannot err;before him righteousness shall go,his royal harbinger. Truth from the earth, like to a flower,shall bud and blossom then;and justice, from her heavenly bower,look down on mortal men.Surely to such as do him fearsalvation is at hand!And glory shall ere long appearto dwell within our land. Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,this wicked earth redress;for thou art he who shalt by rightthe nations all possess. The nations all whom thou hast madeshall come, and all shall frameto bow them low before thee, Lord,and glorify thy Name. For great thou art, and wonders greatby thy strong hand are done:thou in thy everlasting seatremainest God alone. A paraphrase of Psalms 85 and 86.
