Jesus now shall ever reign.
2 Every eye shall now behold him
Rob'd in dreadful majesty ;
Those who set at nought and sold him,
Pierc'd and nail'd him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the great Messiah see.
3 Every island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away:
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment!
Come to judgment ! come away!
4 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air!
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
5 Answer thine own bride and Spirit,
Hasten, Lord, the general doom!
The new heaven and earth t' inherit,
Take thy pining exiles home :
All creation
Travails, groans, and bids thee come!
6 Yea! Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine exalted throne!
Saviour, take the power and glory :
Claim the kingdoms for thine own!
O come quickly,
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come!

E comes! he comes! to judge the world,'
While thunders roll from pole to pole,
And lightnings cleave the skies.

And upward lift their eyes:

In living armies rise.

Of hosts divinely bright,
The Judge in solemn pomp descends,
Array'd in robes of light.

The Last Judgment.
Hond th' archangel cries:
E comes! he comes! to judge the world,'
While thunders roll from pole to pole,
And lightnings cleave the skies.
2 Th' affrighted nations hear the sound,
And upward lift their eyes:
The slumb'ring tenants of the ground
In living armies rise.
3 Amid the shouts of numerous friends,
Of hosts divinely bright,
The Judge in solemn pomp descends,
Array'd in robes of light.
4 His head and hairs are white as snow,
His eyes a fiery flame,
A radiant crown adorns his brow,
And Jesus is his name.
5. Writ on his thigh his name appears,
And scars his vict'ries tell :
Lo! in his hand the Conqu'ror bears
The keys of death and heil.
6 So he ascends the judgment-seat,
And at his dread command,
Myriads of creatures round his feet
In solemn silence stand.
7 Princes and subjects here expect
Their last, their righteous doom;
The men who dar'd his word reject,
And they who dar'd presume.
8 "Depart, ye sons of vice and sin,"
The injur'd Jesus cries,
While the long-kindling wrath within
Flashes from both his eyes.
And now in words divinely sweet,
With rapture in his face,
Aloud his sacred lips repeat
The sentence of his grace:
10 Well done, my good and faithful sons, "The children of my love; "Receive the sceptres, crowns and thron s, "Prepar'd for you above."
CXLV. 8,6. Tiebout's Selec.
The last trumpet.
HAT sound is this salutes mine ear,
W Methinks 'tis Jubil's trump: hear,
Long look'd for, now is come;
It shakes the heavens, the earth, the sea,
Proclaims the year of jubilee ;
Return ye exiles home.
2 Behold the New Jerusalem,
Illuminated by the Lamb,.
In glory doth appear;
Fair Zion rising from the tomb,
To meet the bridegroom now is come,
And hails the jubile year.
3 King Jesus takes her to his arms;
Transported with his glorious charms,
She thus begins to sing:
"From sins and cares and sighs and pains
"I rise where joy immortal reigns,
"To view the rosy spring."
4 The seventh trumpet we shall hear,
A great white throne shall then appear,
Ten thousand angels round;
An angel turns the moon to blood,
Puts out the sun, consumes the flood,
And burns the solid ground.
5 Arise, ye nations, and come forth,
From east and west, from south and north;
Behold the Judge is come!
What horrors fill the trembling breast,
Compell'd to stand the solemn test,
And hear the final doom!
6 Depart, ye cursed, down to hell,
With howling fiends for ever dwell,
No more you'll see my face;
My preciou gospel you've withstood,
You've set at nought my precious blood,
And scoff'd at sovereign grace.
7 See! parents and their children part :Some shout for joy, some bleed in heart, Never to meet again;
In fiery chariots Zion flies,
And quickly gains the upper skies,
On Canaan's happy plain.
8 My soul is longing to be there,
Fain would I rise and wing the air,
And trace the heav'nly road.
Adieu, adieu, all earthly things,
Oh! that I had an angel's wings,
I'd quickly see my God.
CXLVI. 7s. Baltimore Collec.
The great tribunal.
JOHN, in vision saw the day,
When the Judge will hasten down :
Heav'n and earth shall flee away,
From the terror of his frown;
Dead and living, small and great,
Raised from the earth and sea,
At his bar shall hear their fate:
What will then become of me?
2 Can I bear his awful looks?
Shall I stand in judgment then,
