Great God, What Do I See and Hear!

Author: Anon.; William B. Collyer; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 298 hymnals Topics: Resurrection and Glorification Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth 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 the 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; trembling, they stand before the throne, all unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear on clouds of glory seated! Beneath his cross I view the day when heav'n and earth shall pass away, and thus prepare to meet him. Scripture: Amos 4:12 Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
