In the Sun, and Moon, and Stars

lyricist: Reginald Heber, 1811
Composer: Johann Freylinghausen, 1704

In the sun and moon and stars

Signs and won­ders there shall be;

Earth shall quake with in­ward wars

Nations with per­plex­ity.

Soon shall ocean’s hoa­ry deep

Tossed with strang­er tem­pests

rise;

Darker storms the mount­ain sweep;

Redder light­ning rend the skies.

Evil thoughts shall shake the proud

Racking doubt and rest­less fear;

And

amid the thun­der cloud

Shall the Judge of men ap­pear.

But though from that aw­ful face

Heav’n shall fade and earth shall fly

Fear not ye

His chos­en race

Your re­demp­tion draw­eth nigh!
