Hymn 118
Blow the Horn,Let Zion Hear!
Verse 1
Blow the horn let Zion hear,
for God’s day is now at hand;
Let the peopletremble in thisday of clouds
and gloominess;
Troops so greatand mighty strong,
there has never been the like;
Nothing shall escape as they
devour the stubble on their way
Verse 2
Fire before them shall devour,flames ablaze
are left behind;
Such as Edomwas shall become
a wildernessthat’s desolate;
Like the noise of chariots;
and as horsemendo they run;
Nothing shall escape as they
devour the stubble on their way
Verse 3
People are faintat their sight,for they run
like mighty men,
Moving eachon his own way
they do not tanglein their paths,
Each does followhis own line,
climbing wallslike men of war;
Then they chargeas warriors
and advance like fighters on their way.
Last Verse
They upon the city leap,break thru weapons
each unharmed;
Run upon the wallsand climb in houses
thru the windows leap;
Earth is quakingas they come,
heavens shake, stars cease to shine;
Then the Eternal thundersand the sun and moon
become both black!
