Author: Arthur Stanley, 1815-1881 Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #284 (2022) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Our Great Redeemer's Praise First Line: Day of wrath, O dreadful day! Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, O dreadful day!
When this world shall pass away,
and the heav'ns together roll,
shriv'ling like a dry, parched scroll;
long foretold by saint and sage,
David’s harp and prophet’s page.
2 Day of terror, day of doom,
when the Judge at last shall come,
through the deep and silent gloom,
shrouding ev'ry human tomb;
shall th'archangel’s trumpet tone
summon all before the throne.
3 Then the writing shall be read
which shall judge the quick and dear;
ten the Lord of all our race
shall appoint to each his place;
ev'ry wrong shall be set right
ev'ry secret brought to light.
4 O just Judge, to whom belongs,
vengeance for all earthly wrongs,
grant forgiveness, Lord, at last,
ere the dread account be past;
lo, my sighs, my guilt, my shame!
Spare me for Thine own great Name.
5 Thou, who bade the sinner cease
from her tears and go in peace;
Thou, who to the dying thief
spoke sweet pardon and relief;
Thou, O Lord, to me has giv'n,
e’en to me, the hope of heav'n. Topics: Jesus, Coming Again to Judge Christ's Return Scripture: Luke 7:36-50 Languages: English Tune Title: DIES IRAE
