Lo! An angel loud proclaiming,
    With the gospel of good news,
To all kindred, tongue and people,
    “Fear the Lord, give glory due!”
Proclamation to each nation
    Of the hour of judgment near;
Proclamation to each nation
    Of the hour of judgment near.
2
Lo! Another angel follows,
    With another solemn cry,
“Babylon the great is fallen!”
    Peals like thunder thru the sky.
“Come my people, come my people,
    Now forsake her pois’nous creeds;
Come my people, come my people,
    Now forsake her pois’nous creeds.”
3
Yet a third and solemn message
    Sounds a final doom abroad:
“All who worship beast or image
    Soon shall drink the wrath of God!”
Without mixture, without mixture,
    Mercy now no longer pleads;
Without mixture, without mixture,
    Mercy now no longer pleads.

2
Here are they who now are waiting,
    And have patience to endure;
While the dragon’s hosts are raging,
    These confide in God secure;
Faith of Jesus, faith of Jesus,
    And commandments keep them pure;
Faith of Jesus, faith of Jesus,
    And commandments keep them pure.
