|
<p>By faith we find the place above,<br>
|
|
The Rock that rent in twain;<br>
|
|
Beneath the shade of divine love,<br>
|
|
And in the clefts remain.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, to Thy dear wounds we flee,<br>
|
|
We sink into Thy side;<br>
|
|
Assured that all who trust in Thee<br>
|
|
Shall evermore abide.</p>
|
|
<p>Then let the thundering trumpet sound,<br>
|
|
The latest lightning glare,<br>
|
|
The mountains melt, the solid ground<br>
|
|
Dissolve as liquid air.</p>
|
|
<p>The huge celestial bodies roll,<br>
|
|
Amidst that general fire,<br>
|
|
And shrivel as a parchment scroll,<br>
|
|
And all in smoke expire!</p>
|
|
<p>Yet still the Lord, the Savior reigns,<br>
|
|
When nature is destroyed,<br>
|
|
And no created thing remains<br>
|
|
Throughout the flaming void.</p>
|
|
<p>Sublime upon His azure throne,<br>
|
|
He speaks the almighty word;<br>
|
|
His fiat is obeyed! ’tis done;<br>
|
|
And Paradise restored.</p>
|
|
<p>So be it! let this system end,<br>
|
|
This ruinous earth and skies,<br>
|
|
The new Jerusalem descend,<br>
|
|
The new creation rise!</p>
|
|
<p>Thy power omnipotent assume,<br>
|
|
Thy brightest majesty!<br>
|
|
And when Thou dost in glory come,<br>
|
|
My Lord, remember me!</p>

<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Woe to the men on earth who dwell,<br>
|
|
Nor dread the Almighty’s frown,<br>
|
|
When God doth all His wrath reveal,<br>
|
|
And shower his judgments down!</p>
|
|
<p>Sinners, expect those heaviest showers,<br>
|
|
To meet your God prepare;<br>
|
|
For, lo! the seventh angel pours<br>
|
|
His phial in the air.</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! from their seats the mountains leap,<br>
|
|
The mountains are not found;<br>
|
|
Transported far into the deep,<br>
|
|
And in the ocean drowned.</p>
|
|
<p>Who then shall live, and face the throne,<br>
|
|
And face the Judge severe?<br>
|
|
When heaven and earth are fled and gone,<br>
|
|
O where shall I appear?</p>
|
|
<p>Now, only now, against that hour<br>
|
|
We may a place provide;<br>
|
|
Beyond the grave, beyond the power<br>
|
|
Of hell, our spirits hide.</p>
|
|
<p>Firm in the all destroying shock,<br>
|
|
May view the final scene;<br>
|
|
For, lo! the everlasting Rock<br>
|
|
Is cleft to take us in.</p>
