Representative lyrics
Dutch (Original Language)
1. Kom, luister naar het woord des Heren, zoals het is geopenbaard. De hemel werd opnieuw geopend en profetie kwam weer op aard’!
2. De Here zal zijn volk verlossen; gebonden wordt de boze macht. De waarheid wordt op aard’ gevestigd en alles wordt bijeengebracht.
3. Hij komt! De grote dag des Heren, en wie houdt stand als Hij verschijnt? Hij is als vuur, brengt recht en vrede, zodat het kwaad voorgoed verdwijnt.
4. Van vreugde laat de bergen juichen: Hij brengt zijn volk gerechtigheid! Zijn woord staat vast, zal immer blijven, aan Hem de glorie voor altijd!

1. Come, hear the word the Lord has spoken, Revealed anew in latter days. The heav’ns again to us are open; Let all rejoice and sing His praise!
2. The Savior will redeem His people, And Satan’s work will be undone. The truths of God to earth from heaven Will all be gathered into one.
3. The Lord’s great day is surely coming. We long to see that blessed day When Christ will reign with peace and justice And He will wipe all tears away.
4. The mountains then will shout, rejoicing, For Christ will reign on earth as King! His holy word will stand forever. Let ev’ry soul give thanks and sing!
