LIII. Lo! we see the sign appearing

1 Lo! we see the sign appearing,
Jesus comes the Judge severe,
Hell is trembling with a quaking
Sinners shrink with awful fear;
Come to judgment! come to judgment!
Stand your awful doom to hear.

2 See the world in flames is burning,
Mountains and hills away they fly,
The moon in blood, the stars are flaming,
Comets blazing through the sky.
Thunder rolling! thunders rolling!
Sinners now for help they cry.

3 From the general conflagration,
Mounts the righteous up on high,
Gain the hope of their salvation,
Live with God no more to die.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Glory to the Lamb they cry.

4 Stop my soul, look back and wonder
See the wicked left behind,
Hear them crying, weeping, wailing,
for a moment's ease to find,
Doom'd to sorrow, doom'd to sorrw,
In the lake of hell confin'd
