O Spirit of the Living God

Prepare to meet God

Author: William B. Collyer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #580 (1888) Scripture: Acts 1:11 First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear! Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding-- Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.
