I
WE ARE TOLD THAT A GREAT DAY IS COMING,
WHEN THE STARS SHALL LIKE BANNERS BE FURLED.
BUT WOULD YOU BE PREPARED FOR THE JUDGMENT,
IF TODAY WERE THE END OF THE WORLD.
II
WHEN THE ANGEL SHALL SOUND HIS GREAT TRUMPET,
ON THE CLOUDS WILL OUR SAVIOR DESCEND.
THEN THE CRY WILL GO OUT, TIME IS OVER,
THEN THE WORLD WITH IT'S TURMOIL WILL END.
III
NO ONE KNOWS BUT THE FATHER IN HEAVEN,
WHEN OUR LORD FROM THE SKY SHALL APPEAR.
BUT IF WE ARE PREPARED FOR HIS COMING,
WE MAY GREET HIM WITH JOY NOT WITH FEAR.
IV
THIS OLD WORLD SHALL NOT GO ON FOREVER,
NOR THE MOON LIKE A BANNER UNFURLED.
THEN SUPPOSE JUST SUPPOSE FOR A MOMENT,
THAT TODAY WERE THE END OF THE WORLD.
