Then, then the Gos­pel day shall rise,
(Je­ho­vah speaks, let earth at­tend)
“I from My throne above the skies
Will on all flesh My Spir­it send;
Not one but may the pro­mise find
The gift poured out on all ma­nkind.

“Your sons and daugh­ters at that day
Shall in the so­lemn wor­ship join,
Or fer­vent in the Spir­it pray,
Or ut­ter words of praise di­vine;
The old shall dream, in­spired by Me,
The young shall heav’n­ly vi­sions see.

“I will to the whole ran­somed race
My glo­ri­ous de­ity re­veal,
Pour out the Spir­it of My grace,
My ser­vants and My hand­maids fill
With love, shed in their hearts abroad,
With all the ple­ni­tude of God.

“Who slight My mi­ra­cles of love
On them I will My judg­ments show,
Portentous signs in Hea­ven ab­ove,
And pro­di­gies in earth be­low;
The earth shall be burnt up with fire,
And all its works in smoke ex­pire.

The sun shall black as sack­cloth turn,
The moon shall red­den into blood,
The ele­ments melt, the heav’ns shall burn,
At that great aw­ful day of God;
The stars shall from their or­bits fall,
And flames and dark­ness co­ver all.

Then shall the Lord His truth dis­play,
(the mer­ci­ful al­migh­ty Lord)
To those that did His call ob­ey,
The re­si­due that kept His Word;
He shall the full sal­va­tion give,
And bid His saints in glo­ry live.

Then all that on the Lord rely,
And call in faith on Je­su’s name,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
Their master’s glo­ri­ous joy shall claim,
Joy to His faith­ful servants giv’n,
Joy in a new eter­nal Heav’n.
