HYMN 129.

When Christ came down on earth of old,
He took our nature poor and low;
He wore no form of angel mould,
But shared our weakness and our woe.

But when He cometh back once more,
There shall be set the great white throne;
And earth and Heav'n shall flee before
The face of Him that sits thereon.

O Son of God! in glory crown'd,
The judge ordain'd of quick and dead;
O Son of man! so pitying found
For all the tears Thy people shed;

Be with us in that awful hour,
And by Thy crown, and by Thy grave,
By all Thy love and all Thy pow'r,
In that great Day of Judgment save.
