Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

Author: Rev. John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Rewards of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders! 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.
