1 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
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 on 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 Look, prepare to thee:
Careless Sinner,
What will then become of thee?

4 Horrors past Imagination,
Will surprize 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!

5 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.
