Burning the Chaff › Representative Texts

1 Mingled together the wheat and the chaff,
Waiting their doom in the day of His ire;
Soon will the Mighty One winnow His threshing-floor,
Wheat for His garner, the chaff for the fire.

Chorus:
Burning the chaff in the day of His wrath,
Purging His floor with His fan in His hand;
Burning the chaff with unquenchable fire,
Who in that day will be able to stand?

2 Gath’ring the wheat for the garner of God,
Robing the victors in garments of light;
Never to sin again, never to sorrow more,
Standing forever approved in His sight. [Chorus]

3 Only the wicked shall be as the chaff;
Now is the time when dear sinners may turn;
Soon will they pass beyond mercy’s redeeming power,
And found among the chaff, like chaff must they burn. [Chorus]
