Hark! that shout of rapture high,

by Thomas Kelly

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 192 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Hark! that shout of rapture high, Bursting forth from yonder cloud; Jesus comes, and, through the sky, Angels tell their joy aloud, Angels tell their joy aloud.

Verse 2

Hark! the trumpet's awful voice Sounds abroad o'er sea and land; Let His people now rejoice; Their redemption is at hand, Their redemption is at hand.

Verse 3

See, the Lord appears in view; Heaven and earth before Him fly; Rise, ye saints, He comes for you; Rise, to meet Him in the sky, Rise, to meet Him in the sky.

Verse 4

Go and dwell with Him above, Where no foe can e'er molest; Happy in the Saviour's love, Ever blessing, ever blest, Ever blessing, ever blest.
