<p><em>Memorials of F. R. H.</em>, by Frances Havergal&#8217;s sister, says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Some time afterwards, in answer to my question when we were talking quietly together, Frances said, &#8220;Yes, it was on Advent Sunday, December 2, 1873, I first saw clearly the blessedness of true consecration. I saw it as a flash, and when you <em>see</em> it you can never <em>unsee</em>.&#8221;</p>

<p>Thou art coming, O my Savior, Thou art coming, O my King,<br>
In Thy beauty all resplendent, in Thy glory all transcendent;<br>
Well may we rejoice and sing:<br>
Coming! in the opening east herald brightness slowly swells;<br>
Coming! O my glorious Priest, hear we not Thy golden bells?</p>
<p>Thou art coming, Thou art coming; we shall meet Thee on Thy way,<br>
We shall see Thee, we shall know Thee, we shall bless Thee, we shall show Thee<br>
All our hearts could ever say:<br>
What an anthem that will be, ringing out our love to Thee,<br>
Pouring out our rapture sweet at Thine own all glorious feet.</p>
<p>Thou art coming; at Thy table we are witnesses for this;<br>
While remembering hearts Thou meetest in communion clearest, sweetest,<br>
Earnest of our coming bliss,<br>
Showing not Thy death alone, and Thy love exceeding great;<br>
But Thy coming and Thy throne, all for which we long and wait.</p>
<p>Thou art coming, we are waiting with a hope that cannot fail,<br>
Asking not the day or hour, resting on Thy Word of power,<br>
Anchored safe within the veil.<br>
Time appointed may be long, but the vision must be sure;<br>
Certainty shall make us strong, joyful patience can endure.</p>
<p>O the joy to see Thee reigning, Thee, my own belov&egrave;d Lord!<br>
Every tongue Thy Name confessing, worship, honor, glory, blessing<br>
Brought to Thee with glad accord;<br>
Thee, my Master and my Friend, vindicated and enthroned;<br>
Unto earth&#8217;s remotest end glorified, adored, and owned!</p>
