When the Last Trumpet’s Awful Voice | Isaac Watts Heaven

  1. When the last trumpet’s awful voice
    This rending earth shall shake;
    When op’ning graves shall yield their charge
    And dust to life awake;
  2. Those bodies that corrupted fell,
    Shall incorrupt arise,
    And mortal forms shall spring to life
    Immortal in the skies.
  3. Behold, what heav’nly prophets sung
    Is now at last fulfilled;
    And Death yields up his ancient reign,
    And, vanquished, quits the field.
  4. Let Faith exalt her joyful voice,
    And now in triumph sing:
    “O Grave, where is thy victory?
    And where, O Death, thy sting?”
