Consummation

Millennial Harp (1843), Part II, printed p. 69 (PDF 145) — the whole page. Three staves (Treble,
Second Treble — **the melody** —, and Bass); G major, 3/2, three systems. All four stanzas are
printed between the staves (stanza 1 under the top staff, 2 under the middle one, 3 and 4 under the
bass); there are no stanzas in prose. The hymnal prints no metre; the stanzas are C. M. (8.6.8.6), and
the music repeats the last line of each stanza, as the printed words do.

The Lord, the judge, before his throne
Bids the whole earth draw nigh,
The nations near the rising sun,
And near the western sky,
And near the western sky.

No more shall bold blasphemers say
Judgment will ne'er begin ;
No more abuse his long delay,
To impudence and sin,
To impudence and sin.

Thron'd on a cloud our God shall come,
Bright flames prepare his way,
Thunder and darkness, fire and storm
Lead on the dreadful day,
Lead on the dreadful day.

Heav'n from above his call shall hear,
Attending angels come ;
And earth and hell shall know, and fear
His justice and their doom,
His justice and their doom.
