Tune: Little Cornard

('Hills of the north, rejoice')

Matthew 24 v.27-31

********

As the lightning flashes

From east, no abashes* (*reserves, shyness)

And even unto west

Let earth now be addressed

For so shall coming of the Son

Of man be, Jesus He the One

 

For it shall be as though

Where dead bodies are, know

That there vultures gather

Amid troublous stirs

And straight after tribulation

Christ shall be seen by each nation

 

Then shall sun be darkened

Moon shall not her light lend

Stars from heaven shall fall

Cosmic upheaval all

Powers of heaven they shall shake

Let us not sleep, but be awake

 

Then shall appear the sign

Of the Son of man fine

Then shall all peoples mourn

At Christ's return, then torn

Shall skies of heaven be, for He

Comes in clouds, power, great glory

 

He shall His angels send

Great trumpet sound shall blend

They shall gather the ones

Who believe in the Son [of man]

From the four winds, north, east, and west

And south, all with Him ever blessed
