"He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth; Before Him on the mountains, Shall peace the herald, go, And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. "Kings shall fall down before Him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For He shall have dominion O'er river, sea, and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion Or dove's light wing can soar. "O'er every foe victorious. He on His throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All blessing and all-blest; The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever, That name to us is Love."
