195. GREAT GOD, WHAT DO I SEE
Church Hymnal 1941,
1.
Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see appear
On clouds of glory seated;
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.
2.
The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding'
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay,
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
3.
But sinners filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing;
The day of grace is past and gone
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.
4.
Great God! what did I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see apprear
On clouds of glory seated;
Beneath His cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Him.
