LyicsTHE chariot! The chariot! its wheels roll in fire,
As the Lord cometh down in the pomp of his ire;
Lo! self-moving, it drives on its pathway of cloud,
And the heav'ns with the burden of Godhead are bow'd.
The glory! the glory! around him are pour'd
Mighty hosts of the angels that wait on the Lord;
And the glorifi'd saints, and the martyrs are there,
And there, all who the palm-wreaths of victory wear!
The trumpet! the trumpet! the dead have all heard,
Lo! the depths of the stone-cover'd charnel are stirr'd!
From the sea, from the earth, from the south, from the north,
All the vast generations of men are come forth.
The judgment! the judgment! the thrones are all set,
Where the lamb and the bright-crowned elders are met!
There all flesh is at once in the sight of the Lord,
And the doom of eternity hangs on his word.
