Author: Thomas de Celano, c. 1190-c.1260; Mark A. Jeske, b. 1952; William J. Irons, 1812-83 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #209 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, oh, day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning:
Heav'n and earth in ashes burning.
2 Death is struck and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its judge an answer making.
3 See, the book, exactly worded,
Wherein all has been recorded --
Thus shall judgment be awarded.
4 What shall I in awe be pleading,
Who for me be interceding
When your mercy I am needing?
5 King of majesty tremendous,
Who does free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us.
6 Think, good Jesus -- my salvation
Caused your wondrous incarnation,
Made you suffer my damnation!
