��Lawkence TCTTIETT (1825-1897).

O QUICKLY come, dread Judge of all ; For, awful though thine advent be, All shadows from the truth will fall.

And falsehood die, in sight of thee : quickly come ; for doiibt and fear Like clouds dissolve when thou art near.

��quickly come, great King of all ;

Reign all around us, and within ; Let sin no more our souls enthral,

Let pain and sorrow die with sin : quickly come ; for thou alone Canst make thy scattered people one.

��quickly come, true Life of all. For death is mighty all around ;

On every home his shadows fall, On every heart his mark is found

quickly come ; for grief and pain

Can never cloud thy glorious reign.

��quickly come, sure Light of all,

For gloomy night broods o'er our way,

And weakly souls begin to fall

With weary watching for the day :

quickly come ; for round thy throne

No eye is blind, no night is known.
