WHAT THEN?
When all the great plants of our cities.
Have turned out their last finished work;
When our merchants have made the last bargain.
And dismissed the last tired clerk;
When our banks have raked in the last dollar,
And have paid out the last dividend;
When the Judge of the Earth says,
"Close for the Night!"
And asks for a Balance,-WHAT THEN?
When the choir has sung its last anthem,
And the preacher has said his last prayer;
When the people have heard their last sermon.
And the sound has died out on the air;
When the Bible lies closed on the pulpit,
And the pews are all empty of men;
When each one stands facing his record,
And the Great Book is opened,-WHAT THEN?
When the actors have played their last drama,
And the mimic has made his last fun;
When the movies have flashed the last picture,
And the billboard displayed its last run;
When the crowds seeking pleasure have vanished,
And have gone into darkness again;
And the world that rejected its Saviour.
Is asked for a reason,-WHAT THEN?
When the bugle’s last call sinks in silence,
And the long marching columns stand still;
When the captain has giv’n his last order,
And they’ve captured the last fort and hill;
When the flag has been hauled from the masthead.
And the wounded afield have checked in;
When the trumpet of Ages is sounded,
And we stand up before Him,-WHAT THEN?
(NOTE – another version of the last verse)
When the bugle dies out in the silence,
And the long marching columns stand still;
When the millions of earth are gathered
From ocean and valley and hill-
When the Day that has no tomorrow
Has come to the last, last end,
And the voice of God from the Heavens,
Says, ‘It is done-WHAT THEN?
