| Behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet. (Rev. 4:1) |
| The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. (1 Thess. 4:16‑17) |
What cheering words are these!
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and to eternal days —
’Tis with believers well! |
But above all, how well
When Jesus speaks the word,
And, at the trumpet’s sounding swell,
They rise to meet their Lord! |
