Babylon Fallen

A mighty angel with great authority Proclaims "Fallen fallen is Babylon the city A dwelling for demons a haunt for every lie Nations deceived by her wantonness and pride" Babylon fallen the great city mourned Her luxury and splendor now forlorn "Come out of her my people" is the cry Lest you share in her sins and her plagues by and by Kings of the earth who shared her adulterous bed Weep and lament when they see the smoke of her dread Merchants weep too for no one buys their stock Gold silver jewels and fine linen lost Babylon fallen the great city mourned Her luxury and splendor now forlorn "Come out of her my people" is the cry Lest you share in her sins and her plagues by and by Kings of the earth who shared her adulterous bed Weep and lament when they see the smoke of her dread Merchants weep too for no one buys their stock Gold silver jewels and fine linen lost Babylon fallen the great city mourned Her luxury and splendor now forlorn "Come out of her my people" is the cry Lest you share in her sins and her plagues by and by In one hour such great wealth laid waste All who made their fortune there now taste The bitterness of loss the emptiness of greed The hollowness of power the hunger no wealth can feed Rejoice over her O heaven and saints God has judged her for all your complaints Her smoke rises up forever and ever A reminder of the justice of the Savior Babylon fallen the great city mourned Her luxury and splendor now forlorn "Come out of her my people" is the cry Lest you share in her sins and her plagues by and by Babylon is fallen but we will rise On the wings of eagles to our prize Away from the ruin toward the New Jerusalem Where true riches and glory come from Him
