LyicsDAY of judgment, day of wonders!
Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round;
How the summons
Will the sinner's heart confound!
See the Judge, our nature wearing,
Cloth'd in majesty divine!
You who long for His appearing,
Then shall say, "This Lord is mine!"
Gracious Saviour,
Own me, in that day, for Thine!
At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea;
All the pow'rs of nature, shaken
By His looks, prepare to flee;
Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?
But to those who have confessed,
Lov'd and serv'd the Lord below,
He will say, "Come near, you blessed;
See the kingdom I bestow;
You forever
Shall my love and glory know."
