English poem
Christian Songs, Song LXXII
by John Glas (1809–1894)
Hail! hail! the happy wish'd for time, When Jesus shall appear: When the last trumpet loud shall sound, And all the dead shall hear.
2 They'll burst the bands of death with joy, And loud Hosannas raise: In him who lov'd them they'll rejoice, And glorious make his praise.
3 "Thou! Thou art worthy" still shall be The burden of their song; "For thou redeem'd us, and to thee "The glory doth belong."
4 We hope to join the greatful note, And with loud triumph sing, "Where? where's thy vict'ry now, O grave! "O death! where is thy sting?"
