|
|
<p>The day is surely drawing near,<br>
|
|
When God’s Son, the Anointed,<br>
|
|
Shall with great majesty appear,<br>
|
|
As Judge of all appointed.<br>
|
|
All mirth and laughter then shall cease<br>
|
|
When flames on flames will still increase,<br>
|
|
As Scripture truly teacheth.</p>
|
|
<p>A trumpet loud shall then resound,<br>
|
|
And all the earth be shaken;<br>
|
|
Then all who in their graves are found<br>
|
|
Shall from their sleep awaken.<br>
|
|
But all that live shall in that hour,<br>
|
|
By the Almighty’s boundless power<br>
|
|
Be changed at His commanding.</p>
|
|
<p>A book is opened then to all,<br>
|
|
A record truly telling<br>
|
|
What each hath done, both great and small,<br>
|
|
When he on earth was dwelling;<br>
|
|
And every heart be clearly seen,<br>
|
|
And all be known as they have been,<br>
|
|
In thoughts and words and actions.</p>
|
|
<p>Then woe to those who scorned the Lord,<br>
|
|
And sought but carnal pleasures,<br>
|
|
Who here despised His precious Word,<br>
|
|
And loved their earthly treasures!<br>
|
|
With shame and trembling they will stand,<br>
|
|
And at the Judge’s stern command<br>
|
|
To Satan be delivered.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus, Who my debt didst pay<br>
|
|
And for my sin wast smitten<br>
|
|
Within the Book of Life, oh, may<br>
|
|
My name be also written!<br>
|
|
I will not doubt; I trust in Thee,<br>
|
|
From Satan Thou hast made me free<br>
|
|
And from all condemnation.</p>
|
|
<p>Therefore, my Intercessor be,<br>
|
|
And for Thy blood and merit<br>
|
|
Declare my name from judgment free,<br>
|
|
With all who life inherit;<br>
|
|
That I may see Thee face to face<br>
|
|
With all thy saints in that blest place<br>
|
|
Which Thou for us hast purchased.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus Christ, do not delay,<br>
|
|
O hasten our salvation!<br>
|
|
We often tremble on our way<br>
|
|
In fear and tribulation.<br>
|
|
Then hear us when we cry to Thee;<br>
|
|
Come, mighty Judge, and make us free<br>
|
|
From every evil.</p>
