With the Voice of the Archangel

Verse 1

Jesus, faithful to his word, Shall with a shout descend; All heaven's host their glorious Lord Shall joyfully attend.

Christ shall come, ye saints, rejoice! He'll come with thunders loud, With the Archangel's mighty voice, And with the trump of God.

Verse 3

First the dead in Christ shall rise; Then we that yet remain Shall be caught up into the skies, And see our Lord again.

We shall meet him in the air; And all his glory see; We'll know, and love, and praise him there, From death forever free.

Verse 5

Who can tell the happiness This glorious hope affords? Unuttered pleasure we possess In these reviving words.
