1 The days and years of time are fled,
Sun, moon, and stars have shone their last;
The earth and sea gave up their dead,
Then vanished, at th’archangel’s blast;
All secret things have been revealed,
Judgment is passed, the sentence sealed,
And man to all eternity
What he is now henceforth must be.
2 From Adam to his youngest heir,
Not one escaped that muster roll,
Each, as if he alone were there,
Stood up, and won or lost his soul;
These from the Judge’s presence go
Down into everlasting woe;
Vengeance hath barred the gates of hell,
The scenes within no tongue can tell.
3 But lo! far off the righteous pass
To glory from the King’s right hand;
In silence, on the sea of glass,
Heaven’s numbers without number stand,
While He who bore the cross lays down
His priestly robe and victor crown;
The mediatorial reign complete,
All things are put beneath His feet.
4 Then every eye in Him shall see—
While thrones and powers before Him fall—
The fullness of the Deity,
Where God Himself is all in all;
O how eternity shall ring
With the first note the ransomed sing!
While in that strain all voices blend,
Which once begun shall never end.
5 In that unutterable song,
Shall I employ immortal breath?
Or with the wicked borne along,
For ever die "the second death?"
Jesus, my life, my light, Thou art;
Thy word is in my mouth, my heart:
Lord, I believe, my spirit save
From sinking lower than the grave.
