LyicsHark! Hark! Ye mortals, hear the trumpet
Sounding loud the mighty roar;
Hark! The archangel's voice proclaiming,
Thou, old time, shalt be no more!
His loud trumpet, His loud trumpet
See the purple banner flying,
Hear the judgment chariot roll, roll, roll;
Hear the sound of Christ victorious,
Lo, he breaks thro' yonder cloud,
Midst ten thousand, thousand, thousand, thousand saints
And angels see the crucified shine;
Is that he who died on Calv'ry,
That was pierced with the spear,
Tell us, seraphs, you that wonder'd,
See he rises thro' the air,
Hail him! Hail!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Oh! come quickly, Oh! come quickly!
Oh! come quickly, Oh! come quickly!
Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come.
Happy, happy mourners,
Happy mourners, happy mourners,
Lo in clouds he comes, he comes,
All ye nations now shall sing him songs of everlasting joy.
Now redemption long expected,
See the solemn pomp appear,
All his people, once rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Welcome, welcome bleeding Lamb.
Now his merit by the harpers,
Thro' th' eternal deep resounds.
Now resplendent shine his nail prints,
Ev'ry eye shall see the wounds,
They who pierced him shall at his appearance wail.
Ev'ry island, sea and mountain,
Heav'n and earth shall flee away;
All who hate him must, ashamed,
Hear the trumpet proclaim the day,
Come to judgment,
Come to judgment, come to judgment,
Stand before the Son of man.
Hark! The archangel swells the solemn summons loud,
Tears the strong pillars of the vaults of heaven,
Breaks up old marble, the repose of princes;
Flames all around them.
Hark the shrill cries of the guilty wretches,
Lively bright horror and amazing anguish gnawing within them.
See the Judge's hand arising,
Fill'd with vengeance on his foes,
Down to hell, there's no redemption,
Ev'ry Christless soul mus go,
Down to hell, depart, depart, depart,
Ye cursed, into everlasting flames.
Hear the Saviour's words of mercy,
Come, ye ransom'd sinners home:
Swift and joyful on your journey,
To the palace of your God.
See the souls that earth despised,
In celestial glories move,
Hallelujah, big with wonder,
Praising Christ's eternal love:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, echo thro' the realms of light.
Joy celestial, hymns harmonious,
In soft symphony resound;
Angels, seraphs, harps and trumpets,
Swell the sweet angelic sound:
Hail Almighty, hail Almighty, great eternal Lord.
Amen.
