Rapturous Joy

Hark! that shout of rapturous joy,
Bursting forth from yonder cloud!
Jesus comes! and through the sky,
Angels tell their joy aloud.

Hark! the trumpet's awful voice,
Sounds abroad through sea and land;
Let his people now rejoice,
Their redemption is at hand.

See the Lord appears in view;
Heav'n and earth before him fly—
Rise ye saints, he comes for you;
Rise to meet him in the sky.
