1. 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 will | |||
the sinner’s heart confound! | |||
2. 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! | |||
3. 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?}} | |||

4. Horrors past imagination, | |||
Will surprise your trembling heart; | |||
When you hear your condemnation, | |||
“Hence, accursed wretch, depart! | |||
Thou with Satan | |||
and his angels, have thy part!” | |||
5. 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. | |||
6. But to those who have confessed, | |||
{{ | Loved and served the Lord below, | ||
He will say, “Come near, you blessed, | |||
See the kingdom I bestow: | |||
You forever shall | |||
my love and glory know.”}} | |||

7. 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.}} | |||
