Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #924 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Voice of Praise Lyrics: 1 That awful day will surely come,
Th' appointed hour makes haste,
When I must stand before my Judge,
And pass the solemn test.
2 Thou lovely Chief of all my joys,
Thou Sovereign of my heart!
How could I bear to hear thy voice
Pronounce the sound, depart!
3 Oh, wretched state of deep despair,
To see my God remove,
And fix my doleful station where
I must not taste his love!
4 Oh, tell me that my worthless name
Is graven on thy hands;
Show me some promise in thy Book,
Where my salvation stands. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Certainty of the Judgment Scripture: Psalm 96:13
That awful day will surely come
