¶Liedtext

Gabriel, the herald of the skies, With golden trump, through ether flies. Proclaiming, "Time's no more." Those mighty orbs, that flaming roll, Diffusing light from pole to pole, Stand silent and adore. That God, whose breath makes oceans heave, And sturdy oaks their beds to leave, Blew out the burning sun. Lo! earth lies veiled in dismal gloom, The Almighty's palm was nature's tomb, And thus time ceased to run. But soon the Almighty's presence bright Adorned the east with heavenly light, The light that lit the sun. Gabriel proclaimed with solemn sound, The heavens echo all around; Eternity's begun.
