13195. The Day Of God

1 Will it come, the day of God,
When the curse shall be removed?
Will it bring the vengeful rod,
Or the voice of the Beloved?

2 Sure as the eternal throne
Stands the promise of His word:
He shall make His glory known;
All mankind shall hail Him Lord.

3 What doth hinder?—hate of hell,
Strife of men, and greed of lust;
But more wonderful to tell,
Waits the Patience of the Just!

4 God’s long suffering standeth still,
Mercy pleading with the foe!
But who shall resist His will
When He lets His fury go?

5 Burning like a furnace flame,
Fed by wrath that cannot spare,
See the glory of His name
Rising, spreading everywhere.

6 Oh, before that awful day
Let our dark rebellion cease;
Let us meet Him in the way,
And His coming shall be peace.
