1. {
He
comes,he
comes!
to
judge
the
world,A
-
loud
th'archangel
cries,
While
thunders
roll
from
pole
to
pole,
And
lightning
cleave
the
skies;
Th'a-ffright-ed
na-tions
hear
the
sound,
And
up-ward
life
their
eyes;
The
slumb'ring
ten
-
ants
of
the
ground
In
liv
-
ing
ar-mies
rise.
2. {
Thou
aw-ful
judge
of
quick
and
dead, The
watchful
pow'r
bestow.
So
shall
I
to
my
ways
take
heed, To
all
I
speak
or
do. }
And
make
my
peace
with
God,
be
-
fore
I
at
thy
bar
ap

pear.
If
now
thou
standest
at
the
door,
O
let
me
feel
thee
near;

tune
is

to
Carroll,
but
no
mention
of
where
he
came
from
or
anything
about
him.

Harmony"

same
credit
is
given.
The
words
and
music
have
been
of
long
standing.
Some
claim
the
tune
was
taken
from
the
great
Oratorio,
'Messiah."
One
other
verse
has
been
added
to
the
tune,

1. {Rise,my
soul,and
stretch
thy
wings,Thy
better
portion
trace,
Rise
from
transitory
things,To
heav'n
thy
native
place.}
Sun,and
moon,and
stars
decay,
Rise,my
soul,and
haste
away,
Time
shall
soon
this
earth
remove,
To
seats
prepared
above.
2. {
Cease,ye
pilgrims,cease
to
mourn,Press
onward
to
the
prize;
Soon
our
Saviour
will
return,Triumphant
in
the
skies;}
Yet
a
season,and
you
know,
All
our
sorrows
left
below,
Happy
entrance
will
be
giv'n,
And
earth
exchanged
for
heav'n
