861. The coming events of the kingdom of God

1 The coming events of the kingdom of God
Cast in glory their shadows before;
And my being would leap from its prisoned abode,
And the King in his beauty adore.
And the King in his beauty adore.

2 He comes, and the Spirit that lingers below,
In the hearts of the chosen and tried.
Is quickened, and tells in its mystical flow,
The approach of the Bridegroom and Bride.

3 The love and the joy and the peace of the blest,
Like the day-star, arise in the soul,
And we taste the first-fruits of the Eden of rest,
And we hasten to enter the goal.
