The angel comes; he comes to reapThe harvest of the Lord!O'er all the earth, with fatal sweep,Wide waves his flaming sword.
2
And who are they, in sheaves, to bideThe fire of vengeance, bound?The tares, whose rank, luxuriant prideChokes the fair crop around.
3
And who are they, reserved in storeGod's treasure-house to fill?The wheat, a hundred fold that boreAmid surrounding ill.
4
O King of mercy! grant us powerThy fiery wrath to flee!In thy destroying angel's hour,O gather us to thee!
