567. The day of wrath, that dreadful day

1 That 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?

2 When, shriv'ling like a parchéd scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll,
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Resounds the trump that wakes the dead?

3 Oh, on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
