He was a man of considerable ability, but Wesley had more confidence in him as a corrector of errors of doctrine than of errors of the press. He left Toplady to be ‘corrected by one that is full his match, Mr. Thomas Olivers,’ but he rejected Olivers as assistant-editor of the _Arminian Magazine_, because ‘the errata are insufferable.’ ‘The God of Abraham praise’ was published at Nottingham in a pamphlet of eight pages, with the title, ‘A Hymn to the God of Abraham. In three parts, adapted to a celebrated air, sung by the priest, Signior Leoni, &c., at the Jews’ Synagogue in London.’ There is only slight verbal resemblance between Olivers’ version and the Hebrew original.[156] He wrote a few other hymns, not to be compared with this, yet indicating considerable poetic power. One of them, ‘On the Last Judgement,’ was published at ‘Leedes.’ It contained twenty verses, and was afterwards altered, and enlarged to thirty-six verses, Scripture references being given in the margin of almost every line. Some verses of this poem have been occasionally used in hymn-books, and Lord Selborne gave twelve verses in his _Book of Praise_. It is, however, little known. The following are among the best verses. Come, immortal King of Glory! Now with all Thy saints appear; While astonished worlds adore Thee, And the dead Thy clarions hear, Shine refulgent, And Thy Deity maintain. Lo! He comes with clouds descending: Hark! the trump of God is blown: And the archangel’s voice attending, Makes the high procession known. Sons of Adam, Rise and stand before your God! ‘Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly,’ Oft has prayed the mourning Bride. Lo! He answers, ‘I come quickly’; Who Thy coming may abide? All who loved Him, All who longed to see His day. Come, He saith, ye heirs of glory, Come, ye purchase of My blood, Claim the kingdom now before you, Rise and fill the mount of God: Fixed for ever, Where the Lamb on Sion stands. Now their trials all are ended, Now the dubious warfare’s o’er, Joy no more with sorrow blended, They shall sigh and weep no more: God for ever Wipes the tear from every eye. Hail! Thou Alpha and Omega! First and last of all alone. He that is, and was, and shall be, And beside whom there is none. Take the glory, Great Eternal Three in One! Praise be to the Father given: Praise to the co-eval Son: Praise the Spirit, One and Seven; Praise the mystic Three in One. Hallelujah! Everlasting praise be Thine.
