1 Hark! the Archangel's trump is sounding,
Solemn tones break on the ear;
Louder now its echoes bounding,
All the earth astonished her:
Hallelujah!
Christ our Saviour doth appear.

2 See the righteous dead are waking,
Coming forth from dust anew;
Light resplendent o'er them breaking;
Jesus Christ appears to view!
Hallelujah!
They have found the promise true.

3 Now the happy throng in union
Rise to meet their coming Lord;
Joyfully they hold communion,
Entering on their great reward:
Hallelujah!
Praise his gracious name and word.

4 Freed from every pain and sorrow,
Every tear is wiped away;
No forebodings of a morrow
Dark and fearful all is day!
Day forever,
With the saints, a blissful day.
