He comes not in the pride of martial pomp, High in triumphal chariot, while around The poor remains of vanquished kingdoms grace The trophied car; not such as Judah’s sons, By empire’s flattering dreams misled, conceived, Vindictive monarch over prostrate Rome. Beyond the confines of this nether world. At the right hand of the Almighty Sire, Enthroned he sits; no partial King, to all Who unfeigned homage offer, He, benign, The treasure of his boundless love vouchsafes.
