The Lord will come and not be slow
|
The Lord will come and not be slow, his footsteps cannot err; before him righteousness shall go, his royal harbinger. Truth from the earth, like to a flower, shall bud and blossom then; and justice, from her heavenly bower, look down on mortal men. Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might, this wicked earth redress; for thou art he who shalt by right the nations all possess. The nations all whom thou hast made shall come, and all shall frame to bow them low before thee, Lord, and glorify thy Name. For great thou art, and wonders great by thy strong hand are done: thou in thy everlasting seat remainest God alone. |
Adibis certum, Domine, accelerans gradum, et Fas procedet ante te Regis praenuntium. Tum germinabit floribus similiter Fides, Iustitia dum caelitus spectabit homines. Hunc mundum, Domine, potens scelestum corrige, cum iure gentes possidens; nam iure sunt tuae. Quot tu creasti, populi omnes convenient, ut se proiciant tibi et nomen celebrent. Tu magnus es, et maxima miracula facis, Deusque tu perpetua in sede linqueris. |
