328. 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 sinners 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 Christians shout,
to wake the nations underground,
looking to my God’s right hand,
when the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

4 You'll hear the angels sing,
to wake the nations underground,
looking to my God's right hand,
when the stars begin to fall. [Refrain]
