HYMN 65. (L. M.) The Kingdoms of the World become the Kingdoms of our Lord; or, the Day of Judgment, Rev. xi. 15–18.
I
Let the seventh angel sound on high,Let shouts be heard thro' all the sky;
Kings of the earth, with glad accord
Give up your kingdoms to the Lord.
II
Almighty God, thy power assume,Who wast, and art, and art to come:
Jesus, the Lamb, who once was slain,
For ever live, for ever reign.
III
The angry nations fret and roar,That they can slay the saints no more;
On wings of vengeance flies our God
To pay the long arrears of blood.
IV
Now must the rising dead appear,Now the decisive sentence hear;
Now the dear martyrs of the Lord
Receive an infinite reward.
