LyicsTHE Lord shall come, the earth shall quake,
The mountains to their centre shake;
And with'ring from the vault of night,
The stars shall pale their feeble light.
The Lord shall come, but not the same
As once in lowliness he came-
A silent Lamb before his foes-
A weary man and full of woes.
The Lord shall come-a dreadful form
Of wrathful tempests-robes of storm;
On cherub wings and wings of wind,
The awful Judge of all mankind.
Is this the man who wont to stay
A pilgrim on the world's highway,
Oppressed by power and scorned by pride,
The Nazarene-the crucified!
Despairing sinners now will call
"Rocks hide us-mountains, on us fall;"
The saints ascending from the tomb,
Shall shout aloud-"the Lord is come."
