The Morning Star ‎#42

42. Who shall be able to stand?

1 When the trump of God shall sound,
And the nations gather round,
And the Judge shall sit upon His royal throne;
Who will hear the welcome word,
From the lips of Christ the Lord,
"Enter in," "good and faithful, well done."

Chorus:
Who shall be able then to stand?
Who shall be able then to stand?
All who trust in Christ the Lord,
And obey His holy word;
These shall be able then to stand.

2 When the deluge swept the world,
And to death its millions hurl'd,
And the waters covered over all the land;
Those who trusted in the Lord,
And obeyed His holy word,
These were all that were able then to stand. [Chorus]

3 When the cities of the plain
Were enveloped in the flame,
And destruction swept the multitudes away;
There was just a little band,
Who were able then to stand,
In that great and that terrible day. [Chorus]

4 When the day of wrath is come,
And the day of mercy gone,
And to judgment they are called from every land;
Sinner, how is it with thee?
Christian, how then shall it be?
Shall we all be able then to stand? [Chorus]
