When Christ shall rend from end to end

Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Christ shall rend from end to end The regions of the air; And split the skies in twain likewise, Then he'll himself appear. 2 Then he'll appear a drawing near With armies broad and long; In rank and file ten thousand mile, Then we shall see the throng. 3 Then he will tell the archangel To blow the trumpet loud, Then all may hear both far and near; Oh, then you'll see the crowd. 4 When he will call, both great and small, The beggar, prince and drudge; The high, and low, the poor also, To come before the judge. 5 The sheep shall stand at Christ's right hand, But goats at his left side: All shall appear, from far and near, To have their causes tried. 6 Then he will say, depart away, Ye goats go down to dwell, With the devil and his angels, In a prepared hell. 7 But to the rest "Come up ye blest," (The Savior he will say) "Come dwell above, and rest in Love, To one eternal day. 8 "When you've been there ten thousand year, Bright sining like the sun, You've no less days to sing God's praise Than when you first begun. 9 "Those robes you wear, so bright, and fair, Which dazzle like the sun, I've kept above, wrapt up in love; Angels ne'er had them on. 10 "But know my bride, had I not died, You must have naked gone; They're made for you, I know they'll do, For I have tried them on. 11 "Now who are they that dare to say, I've been too kind to these? A right I have to damn or save, Or do just what I please." 12 Jesus I thirst, and go I must, I long to be above; I long to sing, and praise my King, Where oceans flow with love.
