14003. The Call To Judgment

1 When the trumpet of God shall be sounding,
And the Lord shall descend from the sky;
When His voice thro’ the earth is resounding,
And the guilty in terror shall cry—
Unrepentant, unforgiven,
When Jehovah to judgment shall call;
How the summons, the wicked confounding,
As the knell of their doom must appall.

2 When the trumpet of God shall be sounding,
And the saints shall in triumph ascend;
When with rapture in glory surrounding
Their exalted Redeemer and Friend;
Unrepentant, unforgiven,
How the sinner his doom must bewail;
Seek the Lord and His mercy abounding,
While a penitent’s tears can avail.

3 While the world shall in anguish be quaking,
And the tempest of justice shall fall;
When the slumbering dead are awaking,
And to judgment shall come great and small;
Unrepentant, unforgiven,
Self-condemned every sinner will be;
Fly to Jesus, transgression forsaking,
While there’s mercy and pardon for thee.
