Verse 1: Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing, Stirs on the earth and trembles in the air; Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing? Is it the music of His people's prayer? Verse 2: Surely He cometh, and a thousand voices Shout to the saints, and to the deaf and dumb; Surely He cometh, and the earth rejoices, Glad in His coming who hath sworn: I come! Verse 3: This hath He done, and shall we not adore Him? This shall He do, and can we still despair? Come, let us quickly fling ourselves before Him, . Cast at His feet the burden of our care. Verse 4: Thru life and death, thru sorrow and thru sinning He shall suffice me, for He hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.
