1 ’Hear! hear! O earth,'the watchmen cry,
The great millennial day draws nigh
To Abr'am's faithful race;
In which the Lord revealed in fire,
Will make th' ungodly know His ire
Who would not know His grace­ [basses only]
Who would not know His grace.
In which the Lord revealed in fire,
Will make th' ungodly know His ire
Who would not know His grace.

2 O solemn, dreadful, glorious news: T
he Gentiles' times about to close,
And Zion's King appear.
Oh! then,what fearfulness shall seize
Those virgins who have lived at ease
Nor thought the bridegroom near! ­ [basses only]
or thought the bridegroom near!
Oh! then,what fearfulness shall seize
Those virgins who have lived at ease
Nor thought the bridegroom near!
