Great God, What Do I See And Hear!
The End Of Things Created!
The Judge Of Mankind Doth Appear
On Clouds Of Glory Seated!
The Trumpet Sounds; The Graves Restore
The Dead Which They Contained Before:
Prepare, My Soul, To Meet Him.
The Dead In Christ Shall First Arise,
At The Last Trumpet’s Sounding,
Caught Up To Meet Him In The Skies,
With Joy Their Lord Surrounding;
No Gloomy Fears Their Souls Dismay;
His Presence Sheds Eternal Day
On Those Prepared To Meet Him.
But Sinners, Filled With Guilty Fears,
Behold His Wrath Prevailing;
For They Shall Rise, And Find Their Tears
And Sighs Are Unavailing:
The Day Of Grace Is Past And Gone;
Trembling, They Stand Before The Throne,
All Unprepared To Meet Him.
Great God, To Thee My Spirit Clings,
Thy Boundless Love Declaring.
One Wondrous Sight My Comfort Brings,
The Judge My Nature Wearing.
Beneath His Cross I View The Day
When Heaven And Earth Shall Pass Away,
And Thus Prepare To Meet Him.
Another Version Of The Final Verse Reads:
Great God, What Do I See And Hear!
The End Of Things Created!
The Judge Of Mankind Doth Appear
On Clouds Of Glory Seated!
Beneath His Cross I View The Day
When Heaven And Earth Shall Pass Away,
And Thus Prepare To Meet Him.
