16883. When Thou Shalt Come With Trumpet Sound

1 When Thou shalt come with trum­pet sound,
With count­less an­gels hov­er­ing round,
O Sav­ior! grant me, in the air,
With all Thy saints, to meet Thee there!

2 Weep, O my soul! ere that great day
When God shall shine in stern ar­ray;
O weep Thy sin, that thou may’st be
In that se­ver­est judg­ment free!

3 O Christ, for­give, re­mit, pro­tect,
And set Thy ser­vant with th’elect,
That I may hear the voice that calls
The right­eous to Thy heavn’ly halls!
