Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the throng I'll sing. While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of sovereign grace.

The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.
