Hymn for the DeadSir Walter Scott (17711832)
T
When heaven and earth shall pass away!
What power shall be the sinner’s stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
The flaming heavens together roll;
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead!
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be T
Though heaven and earth shall pass away!
