- See the great king of Babel in these latter days of time,
Make a feast that�s universal, all the nations drink her wine;
As they eat, drink, and revel in her lofty steeple hall,
God proclaims her desolation by His hand upon the wall.
- Refrain:
�Tis the hand of God on the wall,
�Tis the hand of God on the wall;
Babylon the great is fallen, and we�re fully saved in Jesus,
While that hand is writing on the wall.
- All deceived and deceiving, see the city and her lords
Riot in their carnal pleasure, heeding not Jehovah�s words;
For He speaks, now revealing mystic Babel�s utter fall,
And the holy read the writing of their God upon the wall.
- How the nations are drunken, and are sporting in their shame,
Even scoffing at our Savior, and profane His holy name;
Far more blind than Belshazzar, who so trembled with appal,
They still riot on to judgment, with their doom upon the wall.
- Oh, the sin and confusion, oh, the vanity and pride,
Of the multitude of Sodom who in Babylon abide!
But all honor to Jesus! we have heard His angel�s call,
And escaped the sure destruction that is written on the wall.
- Hear the loud voice from heaven, �Come, my people, gather home!�
For to you the signs are given, that the Lord is near to come;
Now He shakes every nation, heed the warning, great and small,
For the wicked soon shall perish, say the hand upon the wall.
- See the saints come to Zion and possess the holy land!
Hallelujah! shout the freedom! in the living God we stand;
Since we follow the Savior, love and serve Him Lord of all,
Babel�s kingdom now is finished, says the hand upon the wall.
