Then fright shall banish idle mirth, And hungry flames shall ravage earth As Scripture long has warned us. 2 The final trumpet then shall sound And all the earth be shaken, And all who rest beneath the ground Shall from their sleep awaken. But all who live will in that hour, By God's almighty, boundless pow'r, Be changed at his commanding. 3 May Christ our intercessor be And through his blood and merit Read from his book that we are free With all who life inherit. Then we shall see him face to face, With all his saints in that blest place Which he has purchased for us. 4 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Oh, hear and grant our fervent plea; Come, mighty judge, and set us free From death and ev'ry evil. Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH

Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Judgement and Mercy; Judgement and Mercy First Line: Let God arise in all his might Lyrics: 1 Let God arise in all his might, And put the troops of hell to flight; As smoak that sought to cloud the skies Before the rising tempest flies. 2 [He comes array'd in burning flames; Justice and judgment are his names; Behold his fainting foes expire, Like melting wax before the fire.] 3 He rides and thunders through the sky; His name Jehovah sounds on high: Sing to his name, ye sons of grace; Ye saints rejoice before his face. 4 The widow and the fatherless Fly to his aid in sharp distress; In him the poor and helpless find A judge that’s just, a father kind. 5 He breaks the captive’s heavy chain, And prisoners see the light again; But rebels that dispute his will, Shall dwell in chains and darkness still. Pause. 6 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong; Crown him, ye nations, in your song; His wondrous names and powers rehearse, His honours shall enrich your verse. 7 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms; How terrible is God in arms! In Israel are his mercies known, Israel is his peculiar throne. 8 Proclaim him king, pronounce him blest; He’s your defence, your joy, your rest: When terrors rise, and nations faint, God is the strength of every saint. Scripture: Psalm 68:1-6
