Text Based On Psalms Chapter 76
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who
may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

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 our Judge, our Savior wearing,
Clothed in majesty divine!
Ye who long for His appearing
Then shall say, "This KING 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, prepares to flee.
Careless sinner, what will then become of thee?

Horrors, past imagination,
Will surprise thy trembling heart,
When ye hear thy condemnation,
"Hence, accursèd wretch, depart!
Thou, with Satan and his angels, have thy part!"

Satan, who now tries to please thee,
Lest ye timely warning take,
When that word is past, will seize thee,
Plunge ye in the burning lake:
Think, poor sinner, thy eternal all's at stake.

But to those who have confessed,
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, "Come near, ye blessèd,
See thy kingdom I bestow;
Thou forever shalt My love and glory know."

Under sorrows and reproaches,
May this thought thy 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.
