1. When wild confusion wrecks the air
2. Amid the hurricane I'll stand,
And tempests rend the skies,
And strike a tuneful song,
Whilst blended ruin, clouds, and fire
My harp all trembling in my hand,
In harsh disorder rise;
And all inspired my tongue.

3. Let the earth totter on her base,
Clouds heaven's wide arch deform;
Blow, all ye winds, from every place,
And breath the final storm.

4. O Jesus, haste the glorious day
When thou shalt come in flame;
And burn the earth, and waste the sea,
And break all nature's frame.

5. Come quickly, blessed hope, appear,
Bid thy swift chariot fly;
Let angels tell thy coming near,
And snatch me to the sky.

6. Around thy wheels, in the glad throng
I'd bear a joyful part;
All hallelujah on my tongue,
All rapture in my heart.
