Hymns for Second Advent Believers 42
The Last Trump
1WHEN the last trumpet sounds,
Shakes the earth all around,
And the dead shall arise
And ascend to the skies,
There to meet him who died,
With his glorious Bride,
And be seated for ever
By Immanuel's side.
RefrainHallelujah to Jesus, again and again,
We will praise him for ever, amen and amen;
To the Lamb that was slain,
Yet he liveth again,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen and amen.
2There the martyrs will stand
In the midst of the band,
With their bright shining face,
Praising God for free grace;
There the saints will unite,
With the old Israelites,
Singing glory to Jesus
In rapturous delight.
3Then redemption we'll sing
To our glorious King,
Through the blood of free grace,
While the angels sing praise;
How it rolls o'er the plains,
In what rapturous strains,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
For ever he reigns.
