The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#XXXIV

XXXIV. Bright burning Beams of gospel Grace

1. Bright burning Beams of gospel Grace
Haste Lord, for to display;
For to burn up in all thy Saints
Their Stubble, Wood, and Hay.

2 Break forth O Sun of Righteousness
Unto the perfect Day:
Haste Holy One unto thy Throne,
Our Jesus, haste away!

3 But O, who may abide the Day
When Zions King shall reign?
Who may abide, when he the Pride
Of all proud Flesh shall stain?

4 Tremble ye careless Ones, that are
At Ease in Zion, and
Wonder and Stay, because that Day
Is very nigh at Hand:

5 It now doth dawn; the glorious Morn
Begins for to appear;
What else doth mean these Lowings, and
These Bleatings which we hear?

6 The Saints do sing to Christ their King,
Whilst others rage in Pain,
Because His bright and dazzling Light
Shines thro' the World amain.

7 Redeemed Ones, sing Praises, for
This Fire's but sent to try,
And purge your Dross, that by its Loss
Christ may you purify.
