Hymn 180 – GREAT God what do I see and hear | C&S English Hymnary

1. GREAT God what do I see and hear The end of things created The judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated The trumpet sounds, the graves restore The dead which they contained before Prepare my soul to meet Him. 2. The dead in Christ shall first arise At the last trumpets sounding Caught up to meet him in the skies With joy their Lord sur‐rounding No gloomy fear their souls dismay His presence shed eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3. But sinners, fi’lld with guilty fears Behold His wrath revealing For they shall rise and also find Their tears and sights are unvailing Trembling they stand before the Throne All unprepared to meet Him. 4. Great God what do I see and hear The end of things created The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated Low at His cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away And thus prepared to meet Him AMEN
