When the last trumpet's awful voice (Cameron)

William Cameron • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:52-58

Verse 1

When the last trumpet's awful voice This rending earth shall shake, When opening graves shall yield their charge, And dust to life awake,

Verse 2

Those bodies that corrupted fell, Shall incorrupt arise, And mortal forms shall spring to life Immortal in the skies.

Verse 3

Behold, what heavenly prophets sung Is now at last fulfilled; And Death yields up his ancient reign, And, vanquished, quits the field.

Verse 4

Let Faith exalt her joyful voice, And now in triumph sing: O Grave, where is thy victory? And where, O Death, thy sting?
