Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round.
How the summons
Will the sinner's heart confound!
2 See the Judge, our nature wearing,
Clothed in majesty divine;
You who long for His appearing
Then shall say, This God is mine!
Gracious Savior,
Own me in that day as Thine.
3 At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea;
All the powers of nature, shaken
By His looks, prepare to flee.
Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?
4 But to those who have confessed,
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, Come near, ye blessed,
See the kingdom I bestow;
You forever
Shall my love and glory know. Used With Tune: CORONAE
Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!
