               Rise to meet the Lord of Host.

     Time of oppressing over.

     To those who lack of His Love

     To be some of your elect 

     With Cherub Seraf Above

    To reign with thee at the End.

               In the night the blast will sound 

               Rise to meet the Lord of Host.  Amen
