In the Sun and Moon

Reginald Heber (pre 1905)

In the Sun, and moon, and stars,

Signs and wonders have appeared;

Earth has groaned with bloody wars,

And hearts of men have feared.

Soon shall ocean's hoary deep,

Tossed with stronger tempest, rise;

Darker storms the mountains sweep,

Fiercer lightnings rend the skies.

Dread alarms shall shake the proud,

Pale amazement, restless fear;

And amid the thunder-cloud

Shall the judge of men appear.

But, though from his awful face,

Heavens shall fade, and earth shall fly,

Fear not ye, his chosen race,

Your redemption draweth nigh.
