Text:The Day of Judgment

170. The Day of Judgment

1 Lo! we see the sign appearing,
Jesus comes the Judge severe,
Hell is trembling, earth is quaking,
Sinners shrink with awful fear.
Come to Judgment
Stand your awful doom to hear.

2 See! the world in flame a burning,
Hills and mountains fly away,
The moon in blood the stars a flaming,
Comets blazing through the sky,
Thunder rolling!
Sinners now for help do cry.

3 From the general conflagration,
Mounts the righteous up on high,
Gain the hope of their salvation,
Live with God no more to die,
Hallelujah,
Glory to the Lamb they cry.

4 Stop my soul look back and wonder,
See the wicked left behind,
Hear them crying, weeping, wailing,
for a moment's ease to find;
Doom'd to sorrow,
In the lake of hell confin'd
