Day Of Wrath, The

That day of wrath, that dreadful day,

[or, The day of wrath…]

When Heav'n and earth shall pass away!

What pow'r shall be the sinner's stay?

How shall he meet that dreadful day?

When, shriveling like a parchèd scroll,

The flaming heav'ns together roll;

When louder yet, and yet more dread;

Swells the high trump that wakes the dead.

O on that day, that wrathful day

When man to judgment wakes from clay,

Be Thou the trembling sinner's stay,

Though Heav'n and earth shall pass away.
