Lo! an angel loud proclaiming
1
Lo! an angel loud proclaiming,Brings the gospel of good cheer;Every kindred, tongue, and people,Fear the Lord, soon to appear!ProclamationOf the hour of Judgment near.
2
Lo! another angel follows,With another solemn cry;"Babylon the great is fallen!"Peals like thunder through the sky:"Let my peopleNow from all her errors fly."
3
Yet, a third and solemn messageNow a final doom proclaims;All who worship beast or imageSoon shall feel the avenging flames:Grace no longerShelters their unworthy names.
4
Here are they who now are waiting,And have patience to endure;While the dragon's hosts are raging,These confide in God, secure:Faith of JesusAnd commandments keep them pure.
