Angels minstring to CHRIST and Saints

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXXVIII (1791) First Line: The Majesty of Solomon Lyrics: 1 The Majesty of Solomon! How glorious to behold! The Servants waiting round his Throne, The Iv'ry and the Gold! 2 But, mighty God! thy Palace shines With far superior Beams; Thine Angel Guards are swift as Winds, Thy Ministers are Flames. [3 Soon as thine only Son had made His Entr'nce on this Earth, A shining Army downward fled To celebrate his Birth. 4 And, when opprest with Pains and Fears, On the cold Ground he lies, Behold, a heav'nly Form appears T' allay his Agonies.] 5 Now to the Hands of Christ our King Are all their Legions giv'n; They wait upon his Saints, and bring His chosen Heirs to Heav'n. 6 Pleasure and Praise run thro' their Host To see a Sinner turn; Then Satan has a Captive lost, And Christ a Subject born. 7 But there's an Hour of brighter Joy, When he his Angels sends Obstinate Rebels to destroy, And gather in his Friends. 8 O! could I say, without a Doubt, There shall my Soul be found, Then let the great Arch-Angel shout, And the last Trumpet sound.
