LyicsThe trump of the gospel resounds thro' the land --
Rejoice, for the Kingdom of Heaven's at hand!
Awake thou that sleepest, arise from the dead,
And Christ shall enlightedn and raise up thy head.
While the rich and the poor, the aged and the youth,
In the north, south and west, are embracing the truth --
Bring near, Heavenly Father, to us the glad hour,
The times of refreshing -- the day of thy power.
With bowels of mercy, O Jesus survey
The great congregation assembled today,
Of names and sects divers -- the price of thy blood,
Who long have revolted, and wandered from God.
Let the cloud of thy glory o'ershadow the whole --
A deep veneration impress on each soul,
And strengthen thy servants thy word to proclaim,
And work for the honor and praise of thy name.
In copious effusions thy free spirit shed
Requicken the living, and quicken the dead!
On pentinent sinners thine own image stamp,
And waken the shout of a king in the camp.
Let bigotry fall, Lord, like dagon of old,
O'erturn Satan's kingdom -- thy standard unfold,
And raise up an army thy name to adore,
When life's current flows, and when time is no more.
