3 But we, who now our Lord confess, 4 We, while the stars from heaven shall fall, 5 The earth and all the works therein 6 By faith we now transcend the skies, 1116 The dissolution of all things. JESUS, to thy dear wounds we flee; We shelter in thy side; Assured that all who trust in thee C. M. 2 Then let the thund'ring trumpet sound; The latest lightnings glare; The mountains melt; the solid ground 3 The huge celestial bodies roll And shrivel as a parchment scroll, 4 Yet still the Lord, the Saviour reigns, And no created thing remains 5 Sublime on his eternal throne, 6 So be it; let this system end; 7 Thy power omnipotent assume; And when thou dost in glory come, 1117 The end of things created.
