What If He Appears

What if He appears As the trumpet cheers With a train of angels When judgment labels; Will you hear that saintly sound? What will you be? Mortal forever, or immortal eternally? Where will you be? At the bar, the club Or in the Church? What if He appears The Son of Man In heavenly adornment With lightnings and all glory; Will your life attract that call— To stir you up unto Himself? Will you fit to sing in the light's space? Or are you sure to enter into that palace? What if He appears With all power unto Him That upholds and withholds The devils' ancestry; Will you, if being dead, resurrect; And if being alive, rapture? Or, I see, you may have fallen short! What if He appears In His Royal Majesty As the scriptures said Of that certain day Will He say “depart, I know ye not!”. Are your ways right? Will your soul cry or sing for joy? Where will you stand? On Hell's soil? O’ the faithful saints shall stand on Heaven's rock!
