3 Let heaven proclaim the joyful day, 4 With pleasure lift your wandering eyes, Ye islands of the sea! Ye mountains! sink; ye valleys! rise;} 5 Behold, he comes! he comes to bless To show the world his righteousness, 6 Again he comes with powerful voice 7 When he, who is our life, draws near, And all his glory view, His faithful servants shall appear TH HYMN 67.-L.
