Day Of Wrath, The Heart Dismaying
Hear The King And Sibyl Saying
Earth Shall Melt In Flames Decaying.
Oh, What Fear And Bitter Crying
Shall There Be When, All Things Trying,
Comes The Judge, The All-Descrying.
Through The Tombs Of Nations Swelling
Thrills The Trump, Of Judgment Telling,
All Before The Throne Compelling.
Death And Time In Consternation
Then Shall Stand, While Ail Creation
Rises At That Dread Citation.
Lo, The Open Book Is Giving
Witness Sure To Dead And Living,
And The World Its Doom Receiving.
Then The Judge Shall Sit, Revealing
Every Hidden Thought And Feeling,
Unto Each Requital Dealing.
Who Will Aid Me, Interceding,
For A Wretched Sinner Pleading,
When The Just Thy Grace Are Needing ?
Heavenly King Of Dreadful Splendour,
Fount Of Love And Pity Tender,
Be My Saviour And Defender.
Thou Didst Bear For My Salvation
Toil And Anguish And Privation ;
Leave Me Not To Condemnation.
Weary Didst Thou Seek Me Straying,
On The Cross My Ransom Paying ;
By Thy Passion Hear My Praying.
God Of Justice, My Petition
Hear, And Grant Me Full Remission,
Ere That Awful Day’s Decision.
Shame And Grief My Soul Oppressing,
I Bewail My Life’s Transgressing ;
Spare Me, Lord, My Sins Confessing.
Thou Didst Spare The Sinner Grieving,
Thou Didst Save The Thief Believing,
Me, Too, Hope Of Pardon Leaving.
Worthless Are My Prayers And Mourning,
Yet, Good Lord, In Pity Yearning,
Save Me From The Endless Burning.
With The Sheep Assign My Station
On Thy Right-Hand Of Salvation,
At That Fearful Separation.
When The Sentence Dread Is Given,
And The Lost To Hell Are Driven,
Call Me With The Blest To Heaven.
Conscious Guilt My Spirit Lading,
Hear, O God, My Self-Upbraiding ;
Come, In Death Thy Suppliant Aiding.
Oh, That Day Of Tears And Trembling
From The Wreck Of Worlds Assembling,
Guilty Sinners Stand Before Thee ;
Spare Them, God, We Here Implore Thee :
Lord Of Mercy, Jesu Blest,
Grant Them Everlasting Rest.
