|
<p>Great God, what do I see and hear?<br>
|
|
The end of things created!<br>
|
|
The Judge of mankind doth appear,<br>
|
|
On clouds of glory seated.<br>
|
|
The trumpet sounds, the graves restore,<br>
|
|
The dead which they contained before!<br>
|
|
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.</p>
|
|
<p>The dead in Christ shall first arise<br>
|
|
At the last trumpet’s sounding.<br>
|
|
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,<br>
|
|
With joy their Lord surrounding.<br>
|
|
No gloomy fears their souls dismay,<br>
|
|
His presence sheds eternal day<br>
|
|
On those prepared to meet Him.</p>
|
|
<p>But sinners, filled with guilty fears,<br>
|
|
Behold His wrath prevailing.<br>
|
|
In woe they rise, but all their tears<br>
|
|
And sighs are unavailing.<br>
|
|
The day of grace is past and gone;<br>
|
|
Trembling they stand before His throne,<br>
|
|
All unprepared to meet Him.</p>
|
|
<p>Great God, to Thee my spirit clings,<br>
|
|
Thy boundless love declaring.<br>
|
|
One wondrous sight my comfort brings,<br>
|
|
The Judge my nature wearing.<br>
|
|
Beneath His cross I view the day<br>
|
|
When heav’n and earth shall pass away,<br>
|
|
And thus prepare to meet Him.</p>
