Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

Day of judg­ment! Day of won­ders!

Hark! the trum­pet’s aw­ful sound

Louder than a thou­sand thun­ders

Shakes the vast cre­ation round!

How the sum­mons

Wilt the sin­ner’s heart con­found!

See the Judge

our na­ture wear­ing

Clothed in ma­jes­ty di­vine!

You who long for His ap­pear­ing

Then shall say

This God is mine!

Gracious Sav­ior

Own me in that day for Thine!

At His call the dead awak­en

Rise to life from earth and sea;

All the pow­ers of na­ture shak­en

By His look

pre­pare to flee.

Careless sin­ner

What will then be­come of thee?

Horrors

past ima­gi­na­tion

Will sur­prise your trem­bling heart

When you hear your con­dem­na­tion

Hence

ac­curs­èd wretch

de­part!

Thou

with Sa­tan

And his an­gels

have thy part!

Satan

who now tries to please you

Lest you time­ly warn­ing take

When that word is past

will seize you

Plunge you in the burn­ing lake:

Think

poor sin­ner

Thy eter­nal all’s at stake.

But to those who have con­fess­èd

Loved and served the Lord be­low

He will say

Come near

ye bless­èd

See the king­dom I be­stow;

You for ev­er

Shall My love and glo­ry know.

Under sor­rows and re­proach­es

May this thought your cour­age raise!

Swiftly God’s great day ap­proach­es

Sighs shall then be changed to praise.

We shall tri­umph

When the world is in a blaze.
