Tribunal 204
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Eliakim Doolittle
Meter: L.P.M. (8,8,8,8,8,8)
The God of glory sends His summons forth,
Calls the south nations and awakes the north;
From east to west the sov'reign orders spread,
Through distant worlds, and regions of the dead.
The trumpet sounds; hell trembles, heav'n rejoices;
Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices.
No more shall atheists mock His long delay;
His vengeance sleeps no more: Behold the day!
Behold the judge descends, His guards are nigh,
Tempest and fire attend Him down the sky.
When God appears, and nature shall adore Him:
While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before Him.
