Who Is This that Comes from Edom - Kelly - #209

Thomas Kelly wrote -

Look Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious.

Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted.

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died.

Who Is This Who Comes From Edom.

The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns.

Hark! Ten Thousand Harps.

Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious.

Zion Stands by Hills Surrounded. Graphic below.



"Who Is This that Comes from Edom"
by Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854

Tune - Neander - Linked here

1. Who Is this that comes from Edom,
All His raiment stained with blood;
To the captive speaking freedom,
Bringing and bestowing good;
Glorious in the garb He wears,
Glorious in the spoil He bears?

2. 'Tis the Savior, now victorious,
Traveling onward in His might;
'Tis the Savior; oh, how glorious
To His people is the sight!
Satan conquered and the grave,
Jesus now is strong to save.

3. Why that blood His raiment staining?
'Tis the blood of many slain;
Of His foes there's none remaining,
None the contest to maintain.
Fall'n they are, no more to rise;
All their glory prostrate lies.

4. Mighty Victor, reign forever,
Wear the crown so dearly won;
Never shall Thy people, never,
Cease to sing what Thou hast done.
Thou hast fought Thy people's foes;
Thou hast healed Thy people's woes.
