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
