The last lovely morning

1

The last lovely morning,All blooming and fair,Is fast onward fleeting,And soon will appear;

Chorus.

While the mighty, mighty, mighty trampSounds, "Come, come away!"O, let us be readyTo hail that glad day!

2

And when that bright morningIn splendor shall dawn,Our tears will be ended,Our sorrows all gone.

3

The Bridegroom from gloryTo earth shall descend,Ten thousand bright angelsAround him attend.

4

The graves will be opened,The saints will arise,And with the RedeemerMount up to the skies.

5

The saints, then immortal,In glory shall reign;The Bride with the BridegroomForever remain.
