Lo! the mighty God appearing,
From on high Jehovah speaks!
Eastern lands the summons hearing,
O’er the west His thunder breaks:
Earth beholds Him!
Universal nature shakes!
To the heavens his voice ascending,
To the earth beneath he cries:
“Souls immortal now descending,
“Let the sleeping dust arise,
“Rise to judgment,
“Let my throne adorn the skies!
“Gather first my saints around me,
“Those who to my cov’nant stood:
“Those who humbly sought and found me
“Through the dying Saviour’s blood:
“Bless’d Redeemer!
“Sweetest sacrifice to God!”
Now the heavens on high adore him,
And his righteousness declare:
Sinners perish from before him,
But his saints his mercy share:
Just his judgment,
God, himself the Judge, is there.
Zion, all its light unfolding,
God in glory shall display:
Lo! He comes! nor silence holding,
Fire and clouds prepare His way:
Tempests round Him!
Hasten on the dreadful day!
