APPEARING

Since the verdict of the cross
Will be overturned
By the Supreme Judge
We love Christ's appearing.

Since Peace shall reign
And mankind shall rest securely
Under Vine and Fig-free
We love Christ's appearing.

Since the forest shall flourish
And cattle increase
And the beasts be at peace
We love Christ's appearing.

Since the Sun of righteousness
Will warm,and lighten, and control,
And the righteous leap,
We love Christ's appearing.

Since the Father's fatherhood
Will embrue earth
And the Spirit permeate
We love Christ's appearing.

Since we shall be beside Him,
Sharing in His headship,
His resplendent Bride
We love Christ's appearing!

Amen

In one way there was a verdict at the cross that will not be overturned - for there we were crucified too.  Should I change anything to guard that point?
