Day Of Wrath! That Day Of Burning
Seer And Sybil Speak Concerning
Heaven And Earth To Ashes Turning!
O What Fear Man’s Bosom Rented,
When From Heaven The Judge Descended,
Oh Whole Sentence All Depended!
Hark! The Trumpet’s Peal Astounding!
Through The Realms Of Death Resounding!
The Resistless Summons Sounding!
Death Confounded Nature Quaking
View Appalled The Creature Waking,
For The Judgment Ready Making.
Lo! The Book, Exactly Worded!
Wherein All Hath Been Recorded;
Thence Shall Judgment Be Awarded.
When The Judge His Feat Attained,
And Each Hidden Deed Arraigned,
Nothing Undisclosed Remained.
What Shall I, Frail Man, Be Pleading?
Who For Me Be Interceding?
When The Just Are Mercy Needing.
King Of Majesty Tremendous,
Who Dost Free Salvation Send Us,
Fount Of Pity! Then Befriend Us!
Think, Kind Jesu, My Salvation
Caused Thy Wondrous Incarnation;
Leave Me Not To Reprobation!
Mean Through Toil And Pain Thou Sough Test,
By Thy Cross And Passion Bough Test;
Perish Not The Work Thou Wrought Est.
Righteous Judge Of Retribution,
Grant Thy Gift Of Absolution,
Ere That Day Of Dissolution.
Guilty, Now I Pour My Moaning,
All My Shame With Anguish Owning;
Spare, O God, Thy Supplicant, Groaning!
Thou, Who Mary Gravest Remission,
Who Didst Hear The Thief’s Petition,
Hast With Hope Cheered My Contrition.
Worthless Are My Prayers And Sighing,
Yet, Good Lord, In Grace Complying,
Rescue Me From Fires Undying!
With Thy Sheep A Place Provide Me,
From The Goats Afar Divide Me,
To Thy Right Hand Do Thou Guide Me.
While The Cursed Are Confounded,
Doomed To Flames Of Woe Unbounded,
Call Me! With The Blessed Surrounded.
Hear Me Praying, Lowly Bending,
Conscious Guilt My Bosom Rending,
Care For Me When All Is Ending!
Ah! That Day Of Tears And Mourning!
From The Dust Of Earth Returning
Man For Judgment Must Prepare Him!
Spare! O God, In Mercy Spare Him!
Lord Of Mercy, Jesu Blest,
Grant Us Thine Eternal Rest. Amen.
