Bidding the sinner tremble, and the pure in heart rejoice.
Well may the sinner tremble, and quake with fear and dread,
For the last trump is sounding and the sea gives up her dead.
The Books, the Books are opened! awestruck his eyes behold
That in the unfolded Book of Life his name is not enrolled.
But the pure in heart rejoiceth, he hath heard a welcome home;
With songs of joy and gladness unto Zion he is come;
“Well done, thou faithful servant! to thee it shall be given
To see thy Saviour as He is, and reign with Him in Heaven.”
But the great men and the captains and the chief men, where are they?
