 Him, to Whom from death's dejection Lion-Mark brings Resurrection, Rocks then riving, earth then quaking: of, of Splendour, Splendour: These the titles John could render, Alpha and Omega making.

They relate the earthly passion, How He died in mortal fashion, Crowned with thorns, their suff'ring Lord: He, upraised to things supernal, Shows the King of realms eternal, And the vengeance of His sword.

On these wings evangelistic Rolls the Monarch's chariot mystic, One among the Living Four: While the harpers pour their praises, And the adoring people raises Alleluia evermore.
