That Great Day of the Lord

The judg­ment day is draw­ing near

That great day of the Lord;

The sum­mons all man­kind shall hear

That great day of the Lord.

All pomp and pride and vaunt­ed pow­er

All em­pires

thrones of earth­ly dow­er

Shall per­ish in that aw­ful hour

That great day of the Lord.

That great day is com­ing

That dark day is com­ing

That dread day is com­ing

That great day of the Lord.

How shall we meet that dread­ful day

That great day of the Lord?

When Heav’n and earth shall flee away

That great day of the Lord;

What power can shield the guil­ty soul

All scarred and stained by sin’s con­trol

While thun­der­ings of God’s jus­tice roll?

That great day of the Lord.

Christ is a re­fuge for your soul

That great day of the Lord;

Seek now re­lease from sin’s con­trol

That great day of the Lord;

O fly in­to His pierc­èd em­brace

And be a sin­ner saved by grace;

With joy you’ll then be­hold His face

That great day of the Lord.
