Representative Text

1 Se, jeg er med blandt deres Tal,
Som engang Vidner være skal,
Naar Stjernes Lys udslukkes,
Jeg vaagne ved Basunens Klang,
Og disse Øine skal engang
Ved Verdens Fald oplukkes!
O Syn!
Guds Lyn
Himlen tænder,
Jorden brænder,
Verdens Dommer,
Krist, Guds Søn, i Skyen kommer!

2 Men jeg skal ham som Frelser se;
O, nu forsvinder Stræk og Ve,
Nu Dødens sorte Vinger,
Maa gjerne slaa omkring min Grav,
Det Legeme, som Gud mig gav,
Jeg med af Graven bringer.
Kald, Gud!
Mig ud
Af mit Gjemme!
Mig din Stemme
Skal ei strække,
Men til evig Fryd opvække.
