12733. The Last Great Day Is Drawing Nigh

1 The last great day is drawing nigh
When Christ, the Judge, shall come,
With all the armies of the sky,
To call His children home.

2 Behold! the vengeful day of God:
Destruction flies around,
The mountains tremble at His nod,
His trumpet shakes the ground.

3 Sinners with trembling leave the tomb
At His supreme command;
Behold! the day of God is come!
How will the sinner stand?

4 All who against the living God
Continue to rebel,
Must fall beneath His vengeful rod,
And bear the pains of hell.

5 But those who in His name believe,
And humbly watch and pray,
Shall each a starry crown receive,
And reign in endless day.
