Text:My Lord, What a Mourning
Tune:WHEN THE STARS

609. My Lord, What a Mourning

Refrain:
My Lord, what a mourning,
My Lord, what a mourning,
My Lord, what a mourning,
When the stars begin to fall.

1 You'll hear the trumpet sound
To wake the nations underground,
Looking to my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

2 You'll hear the sinner mourn,
To wake the nations underground,
Looking to my God’s right hand,
When the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

3 You'll hear the Christian shout,
To wake the nations underground,
Looking to my God’s right hand,
When the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]
