Sion, Haste to Meet Thy King

Sion

haste to meet thy king

Psalms and glad ho­san­nas sing

Strew thy palms

thy gar­ments spread

For the Judge of quick and dead!

Meek

He rides up­on the colt;

God

who wields the thun­der­bolt

Lays His roy­al glo­ry by

In our flesh for man to die.

Enter now the tem­ple gate

Where He stands in prince­ly state;

Join the child­ren’s song of praise

To the King of end­less days.

For the Lord who comes with grace

Soon shall show His shin­ing face;

Christ

who for our sins atoned

Comes ’mid an­gel hosts en­throned.

Heav’ns shall van­ish like a scroll

Sun and moons in dark­ness roll

When the dead the trum­pet hear

When the judg­ment books ap­pear.

On that day of doom and grace

Grant us with Thy saints a place

Save us from the realms of night

Clothe us with eter­nal light.
