Lo, He comes, the King of glory,
With his chosen tribes to reign:
Countless hosts of saints and angels
Swell the mighty conqu’ror’s train:
|: Now in triumph, :|
Sin and death are captive led.
See the rocks and mountains rending,
All the nations fill’d with dread:
Hark! the trump of God proclaiming
Thro’ the mansions of the dead,
|: “Come to judgement," :|
Stand before the Son of Man.
'Now behold the dead awaking:
Great and small before him stand:
Not one soul forgot or missing,
None his orders countermand:
|: All stand waiting :|
For their last decisive doom.'
Hear the chief among ten thousand,
Thus address his faithful few:
“Come, ye blessed of my Father,
Heaven is prepar’d for you:
I was hungry, I was thirsty,
|: I was naked, :|
And ye minister’d to me.”
But how awful is the sentence,
“Go from me, ye cursed race,
To that place of endless torment,
Never more to see my face:
I was hungry, I was thirsty,
|: I was naked, :|
Ye to me no mercy show’d.”
Now awake, ye slumbring virgins,
Trim your lamps, the bridegroom’s near;
Let your loins with truth be girded,
Signs proclaim he’ll soon appear:
|: Mark the fig-tree, :|
Budding shows the summer’s near.
Jesus, save a trembling sinner,
While thy wrath o’er sinners roll:
In this gen’ral wreck of nature,
Be the refuge of my soul:
Jesus, save me, Jesus save me,
|: when the lightning: :|
Blaze around from pole to pole.
