Tune: Battle Hymn
('Mine eyes have seen the glory')
*******
O the trumpets will blast when the time it shall sure be at hand
For the Lord to come, return, and then will take back all His land
He will fight for our home, but the Devil he will still refuse
The ground to yield or lose
Chorus
He shall return, O be ready
Waiting hearts be sure and steady
Firm in hope and faith for soon we
By grace His face shall see
But all that is holy shall be returned, it so be destined
That the evil one shall lose, and all his powers must rescind
The trumpets then they will blast out at the return of the Lord
According to His word - Chorus
So be ready to praise Him and then to receive your reward
Kneel down, sing loud as you can, and give fine praises to your Lord
To welcome and to worship Him, He be the blessed Son of Man
Compare no other can - Chorus
He came to earth, and lived and died, it was for sake of the bride
Now He lives again for ever, with Him we shall e'er reside
In our home in heaven, trumpets sound, announcing day-star bright
Rapture, eternal light! - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 15.15.15.6. metre (verses) and 8.8.8.6. metre (chorus). The long lines could be broken down into, e.g. 8.7. instead of 15. The rhythm jars a bit in a couple of places. This was the tune that came to mind when I first read Frogspoetry's poem.

Wonderful adaptation of Melissa's poem Orchi.
Thanks Gold. No end of singing there!
Fine adaption. You do hold your own.
Thanks Heart.
THANK YOU ORCHI,THAT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks Frogs.
Just like yourself STEVE ~ Miss Froggy (Melissa) is a great Blessing to MPS ~ she has one desire to witness to her Lord & Saviour JESUS ~ and she does ! I commented on her Poem and pointed out that "The Second Coming ~ The Rapture" is a great Truth and a Corner Stone of the Christian Faith ! I find that most unbelievers fail to grasp its significance & reality. As a Scientist I find it very reassuring because the end of the Earth as foretold by the Environmental Prophets of DOOM ~ is not the way the World will end ~ AMEN Christ could return tonight ~ so we must all be prepared ~ our Houses in Order and not too many Loose Ends !
I love the HYMN "Mine Eyes have seen the Glory of the Lord" part of MLK's great Speech "I've been to the Mountain Top ............ ! It is always great to sing in an uninhibited Congregation ~ at a recent Funeral we had "When the Roll is called up Yonder" sung with the same vigour ! Thanks for caring & sharing and raising the Spiritual Bar ~ Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. But oh, and I get drawn into it too - it's difficult to sing in an inhibited congregation. Not that I'm very 'happy-clappy' anyway. But a written prayer didn't help much at the start of the service: 'Lord, I become silent...' Wot, right now? We're just about to sing and speak! doh!
I have ridiculous self-consciousness that I'm going to sign too loud, then be embarrassed, in some places. It weighs me down sometimes, bit like a 'dead-weight'. Some don't even attempt to sing. (Well, move then Orchi!). Of course, I expect none of us are too loud in big Anglican churches.
Brian - I mean - I dunno about 'vigour' or 'excitement' in some stiff upper-lip places. We would 'die off' spiritually if there for ever!
