Hymnal and Canticles of the Protestant Episcopal Church with Music (Gilbert & Goodrich) ‎#3a

3a. That day of wrath, that dreadful day

1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heav'n and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?

2 When, shrivelling like a parchèd scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll,
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the cloud.

3 O! 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.

Amen.
