Lyics

That day of wrath! that dreadful day,

When heaven and earth shall pass away!

What power shall be the sinner's stay?

How shall he meet that dreadful day?



When shriveling like a parched scroll,

The flaming heavens together roll;

When, louder yet, and yet more dread,

Swells the high trump that wakes the dead;



O, on that day, that dreadful day,

When man to judgment wakes from clay,

Be thou, O God, the sinner's stay,

Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
