The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#859

859. Lo! an angel loud proclaiming

1 Lo! an angel loud proclaiming,
Brings the gospel of good cheer;
Every kindred, tongue, and people,
Fear the Lord, soon to appear!
Proclamation
Of the hour of Judgment near.

2 Lo! another angel follows,
With another solemn cry;
"Babylon the great is fallen!"
Peals like thunder through the sky:
"Let my people
Now from all her errors fly."

3 Yet, a third and solemn message
Now a final doom proclaims;
All who worship beast or image
Soon shall feel the avenging flames:
Grace no longer
Shelters their unworthy names.

4 Here are they who now are waiting,
And have patience to endure;
While the dragon's hosts are raging,
These confide in God, secure:
Faith of Jesus
And commandments keep them pure.
