74. The Day of Glory Bearing

7,6.

1
The day of glory bearing
 
Its brightness far and near,
 
The day of Christ’s appearing
 
We now no longer fear.
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13)
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:8)
2
He once a spotless victim
 
For us on Calvary bled;
 
Jehovah did afflict Him,
 
And bruised Him in our stead.
“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)
3
To Him by grace united,
 
We joy in Him alone;
 
And now by faith delighted,
 
Behold Him on the throne.
4
Then let Him come in glory,
 
Who comes His saints to raise,
 
To perfect all the story
 
Of wonder, love and praise.
