Lo, He Comes, Arrayed in Vengeance by Joseph Swain
VERSE 1
Lo, he comes, ar-rayed in ven-geance,
Rid-ing down the heav'n-ly road;
Floods of fu-ry roll be-fore him--
Who can meet an an-gry God?
Trem-ble sin-ners, trem-ble sin-ners,
Who can stand be-fore his rod!
VERSE 2
Lo he comes, in glo-ry shin-ing;
Saints, a-rise and meet your King!
Glo-rious cap-tain of sal-va-tion,
"Wel-come! wel-come!" hear them sing!
Shouts of tri-umph, shouts of tri-umph,
Make the heav'ns with ech-oes ring.
VERSE 3
(Now, de-spis-ers, look and won-der!
Hear the dread-ful sound "de-part,"
Rat-tling, like a peal of thun-der,
Through each guilt-y reb-el's heart!
Lost for ev-er, lost for ev-er,
Hope and sin-ners here must part!
VERSE 4
Still they hear the aw-ful sen-tence;
Hell re-sounds the dread-ful roar,
While their heart-strings twing with an-guish,
Trem-bling on the burn-ing shore!
Just-ice seals it- just-ice seals it-
Down they sink, to fight no more!
VERSE 5
How they shrink, with hor-ror view-ing
Hell's deep cav-erns o-p'ning wide!
Guilt-y thoughts, like ghosts pur-su-ing,
Plunge them down the roll-ing tide!
Now con-sid-er, now con-sid-er,
Ye who scorn the Lamb that died!)
VERSE 6
Hark! ten thou-sand harps re-sound-ing!
Formed in bright and grand ar-ray,
See the glo-rious ar-mies ris-ing,
While their cap-tain leads the way!
Heav'n be-fore them, heav'n be-fore them
O-pens an e-ter-nal day!
