Soon Shall the Trump of God
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A resurrection hymn anticipating the trumpet call of God that will awaken the dead, drawing on 1 Corinthians 15 imagery of sowing in weakness and rising in power. The text reflects classic Victorian Adventist eschatological hope.
Verse 1
Soon shall the trump of God
Give out the welcome sound,
That shakes death's silent chamber walls,
And breaks the turf sealed ground.
Verse 2
You dwellers in the dust,
Awake, come forth, and sing;
Sharp has your frost of winter been,
But bright shall be your spring.
Verse 3
'Twas sown in weakness here;
'Twill then be raised in power;
That which was sown in earthly seed
Shall rise a heav'nly flower.
