Scene⁠—The judgment of Earth. + 

The Son of God, the Archangel, Saints and Angels. + 

Archangel + 

Let all the dead rejoice! their Saviour comes; + 

With clouds of angels circled like a sun, + 

Belted with light, and brighter than all light, + 

Lo! He descends and seats Him on His throne, + 

Alighting like a new made sun in Heaven. + 

The world awaits Thee, Lord! Rise, souls of men, + 

Buried beneath all ages from the first; + 

Ye numbered and unnumbered, loathed and loved, + 

Awake to judgment! Rise! the grave no more + 

Hath power upon ye than the ravening sea + 

Upon the stars of Heaven. Ye elements! + 

Give back your stolen dead. He claimeth them + 

Whose they both were and are, and aye shall be. + 

Son of God + 

I come to repay sin with holiness, + 

And death with immortality; man’s soul + 

With God’s Spirit; all evil with all good. + 

All men have sinned; and as for all I died, + 

All men are saved. Oh! not a single soul + 

Less than the countless all can satisfy + 

The infinite triumph which to me belongs, + 

Who infinitely suffered. Ye elect! + 

And all ye angels, with God’s love informed, + 

Who reign with me o’er earth and Heaven, assume + 

Your seats of judgment. Judge ye all in love, + 

The love which God the Father hath to you⁠— + 

For His Son’s sake, and all shall be forgiven. + 

Saints + 

Lord! let us render back to Thee the love + 

Which is Thine own: none else is worthy Thee. + 

Son of God + 

Behold this day I dwell with thee on earth, + 

E’en to the last; the next shall be in Heaven, + 

Where ye shall meet the Father, and remain + 

In the Eternal presence, He through me + 

Blessing all spirits overflowingly. + 

Saints + 

Dear Lord, our God and Saviour! for Thy gifts + 

The world were poor in thanks, though every soul + 

Were to do nought but breathe them, every blade + 

Of grass and every atomie of earth + 

To utter it like dew. Thy ways are plain + 

Only in Thine own light. And this great day + 

Unveils all nature’s laws and miracles⁠— + 

All to Thee all as one. Thy death was life; + 

Thy judgment is all mercy, Lord of Love! + 

The world’s incomprehensible no more + 

To man, but all is bright as new-born star. + 

Son of God + 

The Book of Life is opened. Heaven begins. + 
