Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #735 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Lo, he comes, array'd in vengeance,
Riding down the heavenly road:
Floods of fury roll before him--
Who can meet an angry God?
Tremble, sinners,
Who can stand before his rod?
2 Lo, he comes in glory shining:
Saints, arise and meet your king!
Glorious captain of salvation,
Welcome, welcome, hear them sing!
Shouts of triumph
Make the heavens with echoes ring!
3 Now despisers, look and wonder!
Hear the dreadful sound 'depart,'
Rattling like a peal of thunder,
Thro' each guilty rebel's heart!
Lost for ever,
Hope and sinners here must part!
4 Still they hear the awful sentence,
Hell resounds the dreadful roar;
While their heartstrings twine with anguish,
Trembling on the burning shore!!
Justice seals it--
Down thy sink to rise no more!
5 How they shrink, with horror viewing
Hell's deep caverns op'ning wide!
Guilty thoughts, like ghosts pursuing,
Plunge them down the rolling ride!
Now consider,
Ye who scorn the Lamb that died!
6 Hark! ten thousand harps resounding!
Form'd in bright and grand array:
See the glorious armies rising,
While their captain leads the way!
Heaven before them
Opens an eternal day.
