9799. In The Sun, And Moon, And Stars

1 In the sun, and moon, and stars,
Signs and wonders there shall be;
Earth shall quake with inward fears,
Nations with perplexity.

2 Soon shall ocean’s hoary deep
Tossed with stranger tempests rise;
Wilder storms the mountain sweep;
Louder thunders rock the skies.

3 Dread alarms shall shake the proud,
Pale amazement, restless fear;
And, amid the thunder cloud,
Shall the Son of Man appear.

4 But though from His awful face
Heaven and earth away shall fly,
Fear not ye, His chosen race,
Your redemption draweth nigh.
