Chorus . Lo ! he comes , the Lord of glory ,, Sin and sorrow scattering far ; Lo ! he comes , and at bis presence Woe retires and wasting war . Bow before him ; Bow before yon orient star !
Lo ! he comes , the Lord of glory , Shouts of joy his path attend ; Lo ! he comes . Let tribes and nations , Grateful and rejoicing , bend . He has triumphed , Saviour—Conqueror—Master—Friend

Dim is the eye—the eye of blue—*• No more shall its brightness glow ; And the locks that playM so gracefully , Repose on a forehead of snow—Not a tear bedews that innocent face , Nor the smile of joy finds a resting-place .
Mute is the tongue—the prattling tongue * That whiled the dull hour away ; The artless wish ne ' er shall move it again , The impulse of love give it play—Its accents were sweet—more sweet than the tale
The nightingale tells to the evening gale . Pale is the form—the beauteous form—It is laid in a lowly bed ; The blossom of promise is perished , alas S The gay dreams of hope are all filed : From the spoiler ' s hand could not innocence save ? See ! the cypress waves o ' er the infant's grave .
Pure is the spirit—it lives ! it lives ! Nor to death ' s dread influence yields ; The flight of a seraph it wings sublime , It alights on Elysian fields ; It tastes the pure joys of the blest above , And dwells in the rays of eternal love . So fades the gem—the fragrant gem ,
That peeps from beneath the shade ; Drooping it falls from its lowly stem , In the dust its beauties are laid ; Its colours are lost—neglected it lies—But still it is sweet—the perfume ne ' er dies . IIminster , January 30 ., 1825 . E . W . #
