"Ere long the awful day shall come, When Christ in glory shall appear, And all the world their final doom, From his most righteous lips must hear." This early American songbook presents four-part harmony in shape-note notation without staves. As a learning and sight-reading aid, each note is rendered as a shape denoting its relative pitch.
