The Lord will come and not be slow,
His footsteps cannot err;
Before him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
Truth from the earth, like to a flow'r,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice, from her heav'nly bow'r,
Look down on mortal men.
Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shall by right
The nations all possess.
For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done;
Thou in thine everlasting seat
Remainest God alone.
John Milton, 1608-1674
Tune: St. Magnus, Jeremiah Clark, 1670-1707
