Order By:
Behold the Judge descends, his guards are high,
Tempest & fire attend him down the sky;
Heav'n, earth & hell draw near, let all kings come,
To hear his justice and the sinner's doom.
But gather first,
But gather first my saints, the Judge commands,
Bring them ye angels from their distant lands.
