You will see your Lord a coming,You will see your Lord a coming,You will see your Lord a coming:—While the old church yardsHear the band of music,hear the band of music,hear the band of musicWhich is sounding thro' the air.

Gabriel sounds his mighty trumpet,Gabriel sounds his mighty trumpet,Gabriel sounds his mighty trumpet,Through the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

He'll awake all the nations,He'll awake all the nations,He'll awake all the nations,From the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

There will be a mighty wailing,There will be a mighty wailing,There will be a mighty wailing,At the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

O Sinner, you will tremble,O Sinner, you will tremble,O Sinner, you will tremble,At the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

You will flee to rocks and mountains,You will flee to rocks and mountains,You will flee to rocks and mountains,From the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

You will see the saints arising,You will see the saints arising,You will see the saints arising,From the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

Angels bear them to the Savior,Angels bear them to the Savior,Angels bear them to the Savior,From the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

Then we'll shout, our sufferings over,Then we'll shout, our sufferings over,Then we'll shout, our sufferings over,From the old church-yards,While the band of music,while the band of music,while the band of musicShall be sounding through the air.

About this hymn

As printed Millennial Harp (1843), Part II, p. 24 — the whole page: four systems, two staves (Treble with the words, Bass), F major, 2/4, a one-beat pickup and sixteen bars in two strains, each strain closed by the printer's repeat mark (four dots; a heavy bar at the end). The hymnal prints no metre, author or composer. Stanza 1 is printed between the staves; stanzas 2–9 fill printed p. 25 (PDF 101), which holds nothing else. In stanzas 2–9 the «&c.» stands for the repetition of the first line that the music writes out three times.
