⤢ Full screenSee the judge descending, descending,
See the judge descending in that great day ;
So come, poor sinner, you can't stand his ire,
Before that hour, haste thee away.
Christians are rejoicing, rejoicing,
Christians are rejoicing in this our day ;
They know their Savior, to Eden's bower,
In this glad hour, calls them away.
Angels are a shouting, a shouting,
Angels are a shouting in this our day,
To hear the sinner for Christ inquire
With true desire to learn the way.
Converts are a praising, a praising,
Converts are a praising in this our day,
That blessed Savior, who in this hour,
From Satan's power draws them away.
The bride she is a calling, a calling,
The bride she is a calling in this our day;
She calls you, sinner, with all her power,
In this blest hour, O come away.
The Savior is a coming, a coming,
The Savior is a coming in this our day;
Oh come in glory, we'll fall before thee,
We'll all adore thee through endless day,
