THE day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away:...

THE day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away: What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day?

When, shrivelling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, And louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead;

O! on that day, that awful day, When man to judgement wakes from clay, Be thou, O Christ! the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
