1. He comes! he comes! to judge the world, | |||
Aloud the archangel cries: | |||
While thunders roll from pole to pole, | |||
And lightnings cleave the skies. | |||
2. The affrighted nations hear the sound, | |||
And upward lift their eyes: | |||
The slumbering 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, | |||
Arrayed 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 victories tell: | |||
Lo! in his hand the conqueror bears | |||
The keys of death and hell. | |||
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 peasants here expect | |||
Their last, their righteous doom; | |||
The men who dared his grace reject, | |||
And they who dared presume. | |||
8. "Depart, ye sons of death and sin," | |||
The injured Jesus cries, | |||
While the long-kindling wrath within | |||
Flames from both his eyes. | |||
9. And now in words divinely sweet, | |||
With rapture in his face, | |||
Aloud his sacred lips repeat | |||
The sentence of his grace:}} | |||
