Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear? The end of things created; The judge of mankind shall appear On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet him! 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise At that last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding. No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners filled with guilty fears Behold his wrath prevailing, For they shall rise and find their tears And sighs are unavailing; The day of grace is past and gone; They trembling stand before his throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 O Christ, you died, and yet you live; To me account your merit, My pardon seal, my sins forgive, And cleanse me by your Spirit. Beneath your cross I view the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet you. Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns,, Sheffield, 1802, st. 1, alt.

Midnats Mulm dig ruger over, Men Herrens Time slaar,– hvo sover? I klage Jomfruer, herfrem! Se, Herren kommer ned, Stat op, tag Lampen med! Lad den brænde! Paa Jesu Bud Stat op, gak ud! Han fører dig hjem til din Gud. 2 Zion Vægter-Raabet hører, En himmelsk Glæde Hjertet rører, Hun vaagner og staar freidig op. Herren kommer stor og prægtig, Af Naade stærk, af Sandhed mægtig; Nu rinder hendes Stjerne op! Ak, kom, du Krone skjøn, Min Jesus, du Guds Søn! Hosianna! Vi følge med! Du har bered En Bolig os i Evighed! 3 Ære være dig, du Høie! Ak Gud, hvad ser, hvad ser mit Øie! Rundt om din Throne Engle-Rad! Lyset er saa klart derinde, Og hver din Ven vi der gjenfinde Saa engleren og engleglad! Hvad intet Øie saa, Hvad aldrig Tanker naa, Der vi skue! Nu, Jord Farvel! Stig høit, min Sjæl, Følg Jesus ind til Glædens Væld!

First the blade, and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear. Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come and shall take the harvest home; from his field shall in that day all offenses purge away; give his angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in his garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come to thy final harvest home. Gather then thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in thy garner to abide. Come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home! Used With Tune: ST.
