Hark! the Archangel's trump is sounding
1
Hark! the Archangel's trump is sounding,Solemn tones break on the ear;Louder now its echoes bounding,All the earth astonished hear:Hallelujah!Christ our Saviour doth appear.
2
See the righteous dead are waking,Coming forth from dust anew;Light resplendent o'er them breaking;—Jesus Christ appears to view!Hallelujah!They have found the promise true.
3
Now the happy throng in unionRise to meet their coming Lord;Joyfully they hold communion,Entering on their great reward:Hallelujah!Praise his gracious name and word.
4
Freed from every pain and sorrow,Every tear is wiped away;No forebodings of a morrowDark and fearful—all is day!Day forever,With the saints, a blissful day.
