WHEN HE COMES by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: A VISION FAIR - OF CLOUDS AND SKY
Last Line: TO DO HIM HONOR THERE.
Subject(s): EARTH; HOLY GHOST; LIGHTNING; RELIGION; SOUL; WORLD; HOLY SPIRIT; LIGHTNING RODS; THEOLOGY;
A vision fair—of clouds, and sky,
And lightnings flashing bright,
Of Heaven's portals open wide
And souls of men in flight,
Of Earth dissolving 'neath the fire
And fullness of the Time,
Of Sun, and Moon, and Stars forgot
In Glory Light sublime.

Within that Light stands forth revealed
The Christ of Calvary,
While lightnings flashing 'round the world
Disclose His Majesty;
Angels and loved ones Him surround
On clouds that float in air,
While Heaven sends all Glory down
To do Him honor there.
