The summer harvest spreads the field,
Mark how the whitening hills are turn'd!
Behold them to the reapers yield;—
The wheat is sav'd—the tares are burn'd.
Thus the great Judge with glory crown'd.
Descends to reap the ripen'd earth!
Angelic guards attend him down,
The same who sang his humble birth.
In sounds of glory hear him speak,
"Go search around the flaming world;
Haste—call my saints to rise, and take
The seats from which their foes were hurl'd.
Go, burn the chaff in endless fire,
In flames unquench'd, consume each tare:
Sinners must feel my holy ire.
And sink in guilt—to deep despair."
Thus ends the harvest of the earth:—
Angels obey the awful voice;
They save the wheat, they burn the chaff;
All heav'n approves the sov'reign choice.
