1

See 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.

2

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.

3

Angels are a shouting, a shouting,Angels are a shouting in this our day,To hear the sinner for Christ inquireWith true desire to learn the way.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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,
