Of the End of the World

The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. — 2 Pet 3:10

Lo! it comes—that day of wonder!
Louder chorals shake the skies:
Hades’ gates are burst asunder;
See the new-clothed myriads rise!
