The Lord Will Come and Not Be Slow
Words: from Psalms 82, 85, 86, John Milton, 1648
adapted by Mark Graham
Music:
1. The Lord will come and not be slow
His footsteps cannot err;
Before Him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2. Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
shall bud and blossom then;
And justice, from her heavenly bower
shall come to mortal men.
3. Rise, God, judge Thou the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
For Thou art He who shall by right
the nations all possess.
4. For great Thou art, and wonders great
by Thy strong hand are done;
Thou in Thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone.
