Remember Me

By faith we find the place above,The rock that rent in twain,Beneath the shade of dying love,And in the cleft remain.Jesus, to thy dear wounds we flee;We sink into thy side.Assured that all who trust in theeShall evermore abide.

Then let the thundering trumpet sound,The latest lightnings glare;The mountains melt, the solid groundDissolve as liquid air;The huge celestial bodies rollAmidst the general fire,And shrivel as a parchment scroll,And all in smoke expire!

Yet still the Lord, the Savior, reigns,When nature is destroyed,And no created thing remainsThroughout the flaming void.Sublime upon his azure throne,He speaks th' Almighty word;His fiat is obeyed; 'tis done,And paradise restored.

So be it! let this system end,This ruinous earth and skies!The New Jerusalem descend,The new creation rise!Thy power omnipotent assume!Thy brightest majesty!And when thou dost in glory come,My Lord, remember me!
