96. Hark! that shout of rapturous joy

1 Hark! that shout of rapturous joy,
Bursting forth from yonder cloud!
Jesus comes, and through the sky
Angels tell their joy aloud!

2 Hark! the trumpet's awful voice
Sounds abroad, through sea and land;
Let His people now rejoice!
Their redemption is at hand.

3 See! the Lord appears in view;
Heaven and earth before Him fly!
Rise, ye saints, He comes for you--
Rise to meet Him in the sky.

4 Go, and dwell with Him above,
Where no foe can e'er molest;
Happy in the Saviour's love,
Ever blessing, ever blest.
