Advent of Jesus · Hymn 379 · 8.7.8.7.4.7
Day of Judgment, Day of wonder
“The hour is coming, in which all that are in graves shall hear his voice”. Jn. 5:28
1.
Day of Judgment, Day of wonder
Hark! The trumpet’s awful sound
Louder than a thousand thunders
Shakes the vast creation round
How the summons, how the summon
Will the sinner’s heart confound
2.
See the judge our nature wearing
Clothed in majesty divine;
Ye who love the Lord’s appearing
The shall say, This God is mine
Gracious Saviour, gracious Saviour
Own me on that day as thine
3.
At his call the dead awaken
Rise to life from earth and sea
All the pow’r of nature, shaken
At his call prepare to flee
Careless sinner, careless sinner
What will then become of thee?
4.
The devil that deceives thee now
Listen thou not unto him
When these riches shall pass away
It shall find thee in the fire
My friend, think thou/2x
Of thy place in burning hell
5.
Under afflictions and mockery
Let this world thy counsel be
The day of the Lord comes quickly
Then our tears will turn to joy
We shall conquer/2x
When the world shall be on fire
Amen
