DOCTRINES >> RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS
SDAH 418
Day of judgement, day of wonders!
Hark the trumpet’s awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round.
Text
1
Day of judgment, day of wonders!
Hark the trumpet’s awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons, How the summons
Will the sinner’s heart confound!
2
See the Lord in glory nearing,
Clothed in majesty divine,
You who long for His appearing,
Then shall say, “This God is mine!”
Gracious Savior, Gracious Savior,
Own me in that day as Thine.
3
At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea!
All the powers of nature shaken
By His looks prepare to flee.
Careless sinner, Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?
4
But to those who have confessed
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, “Come near, ye blessed,
See the kingdom I bestow;
You forever, You forever
Shall My love and glory know.”

The lesson reminds us that no matter the suffering, pain, desolation now, in the end God’s goodness will triumph over evil and soon we see Jesus come with glory, clothe in majesty. (Lesson 6, 1st Quarter 2021 -Thursday, Final Triumph of Zion, 2/04/2021)
