Charles Wesley,
Hearken to the Solemn Voice
“ He comes to keep His Word, light and joy His looks impart; Go ye forth to meet your Lord, and meet Him in your heart.Ye who faint beneath the load of sin, your heads lift up; See your great redeeming God, He comes, and bids you hope: In the midnight of your grief, Jesus doth His mourners cheer; Lo! He brings you sure relief; believe, and feel Him here.Ye whose loins are girt, stand forth! Whose lamps are burning bright, Worthy, in your Savior’s worth, to walk with Him in white: Jesus bids your hearts be clean, bids you all His promise prove ”
