Hymnal: HSS31769 #I.LXV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Let the seventh angel sound on high Lyrics: 1 Let the seventh angel sound on high, Let shouts be heard through all the sky; Kings of the earth with glad accord, Give up your kingdoms to the Lord. 2 Almighty God, thy pow'r assume, Who wast, and art, and art to come; Jesus the Lamb who once was slain, For ever live, for ever reign. 3 The angry nations fret and roar, That they can slay the saints no more; On wings of veng'ance flies our God, To pay the long arrears of blood. 4 Now must the rising dead appear; Now the decisive sentence hear; Now the dear martyrs of the Lord Receive an infinite reward.
