Death falls beneath his sword; The joyful prisoners burst the tombs, And rise to meet their Lord. 3 The trumpet sounds, Awake! The saints the call obey; Their joyful upward flight they take To realms of endless day. 4 Thrice happy morn for those Who love the ways of peace; No night of sorrow e'er shall close Or shade their perfect bliss.

In Expectation Sweet

Author: Joseph Swain Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12094 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In expectation sweet We’ll wait, and sing, and pray, Till Christ’s triumphal car we meet, And see an endless day. 2 He comes! He comes! behold His presence melts the sky! Celestial armies, clad in gold, Around His chariot fly. 3 He comes! the Conqueror comes! Death falls beneath His sword; The joyful prisoners burst the tombs, And rise to meet their Lord! 4 The trumpet sounds, "Awake! Ye dead, to judgment come!" The pillars of creation shake While hell receives her doom. 5 Thrice happy morn for those Who love the ways of peace; No night of sorrow e’er shall close, Or shade, their perfect bliss.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "In expectation sweet" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
