Oliver Holden - Joyful Tidings - текст песни (слова)

4. Will the Almighty deign again 
 To visit yonder world;
 And hither bring rebellious men,
 Whence rebels once were hurled?
 
 5. Their tears, and groans, and deep distress
 Aloud for mercy call;
 But ah! must truth and righteousness
 To mercy victims fall?
 
 6. So spake the friends of God and man,
 Delighted, yet surprised;
 Eager to know the wondrous plan,
 That wisdom had devised.
