HYMN 37.
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, wbich 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.
O Jesu, friend to fallen man,
To me impart Thy merit;
Forgive my sin, wash out its stain,
By Thine Almighty spirit;
The trumpet sounds, the Judge is near,
But Thou my soul, devoid of fear,
Shall rise with joy to meet Him.
