Did they but know of Cal­va­ry.
And sound the ju­bi­lee.
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
You must to the judg­ment go.
The Gos­pel no mes­sage de­clare;
The voice of the tem­pest
In Beth­le­hem.
The Son of Man shall come.

Will you be among the weep­ing

And re­mem­ber there’s a death that nev­er dies;

wail­ing

Wailing, wail­ing un­to thee;
I hear the wicked wail­ing, on that great day.
Shall the true Mes­si­ah see.
As the wick­ed turn away
How suf­fer the night of des­pair?
And none but the Sav­ior
In lowly vil­lage stall,
Shall quake with sud­den fear;
The frost­ed earth lay white;
Of the wick­ed ones now fail­ing
Or will you fly to Heav­en
Or will you fly to Heav­en
To its hor­ror will you dare to close your eyes?
My win­ter’s past, my storms are gone,
And o’er the earth is ec­ho­ing
And in my heart, I heard,
Unbelievers trem­bling, quail­ing,
Unbelievers trem­bling, quail­ing,
Which hears the aw­ful word, De­part!
For lo, He comes, the migh­ty King,
