     He shall come in His own glory, and in the glory of His Father,
     “What rush of Alleluias fills all the earth and sky!
     What ringing of a thousand harps bespeak the triumph nigh!
     O day, for which creation and all its tribes were made!
     O joy, for all its former woes a thousand-fold repaid.”
