Author: Sir Walter Scott, 1805 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #459a (1908) Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heav'n and earth shall pass away,
What pow'r shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
2 When, shriv'ling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heav'ns together roll,
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead?
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. Topics: Second Sunday of Advent; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS
