Hear the glorious proclamation

1

Hear the glorious proclamation,The glad tidings of salvation,Hear the glorious proclamationOf the Saviour near.

Chorus.

While the choir of angels,While the choir of angels,While the choir of angels,Shall be chanting through the sky.

2

Hark! the tidings onward rolling,Jesus comes, the world controlling;Hark! the tidings onward rolling,Jesus comes to reign.

3

See the sign in heaven appearing,And the blazing chariot nearing;See the sign in heaven appearing,And the Saviour there.

4

See the earth in terror shaking,And the dead to life awaking;See the earth in terror shaking,And the saints arise.

5

Now on wings of light ascending,With a shining host attending;Now on wings of light ascending,See them mount the skies.

6

See, the banner waves in glory,While ten thousand tell the story;See, the banner waves in glory,And the saints are there.

7

They are saved from death forever,Praise to Him who did deliver;They are saved from death forever,And to die no more.
