The Favoured Faithful

Tune: Cross of Jesus

(\'Come thou long expected Jesus\')

Malachi 4 v.1-3

*******

For the day it comes that does burn

As an oven, repent, turn

To the LORD, be not proud, wicked

Nothing can from Him be hid

 

For evil shall burn as stubble

All causes of woe, trouble

There left be no branches or roots

Nevermore shall spring new shoots

 

But to you who fear the LORD\'s name

His the honour, His the fame

To you shall Sun of righteousness

Arise upon you, you bless

 

He shall dawn, healing in His wings

His people, each to them sings

You shall grow up as calves new-born

Not be from your stables torn

 

The righteous shall tread the wicked

Down, through Christ, He is their head

They shall be as ashes under

The righteous\' feet, and not stir
