1 Day of judgement, 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,

Cloth'd in majesty divine!

You who long for his appearing

Then shall say, "This God is mine!"

Gracious Saviour, own me in that day for thine!

3 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?

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,

Lov'd and serv'd the Lord below,

He will say, "Come near, ye blessed,

"See the kingdom I bestow;

You for ever 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 chang'd to praise:

We shall triumph when the world is in a blaze.
