Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15825 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Dark brood the heav’ns o’er thee Lyrics: 1 Dark brood the heav’ns o’er thee,
Black clouds are gath’ring fast;
In awful power thy God has come,
Thy days of mirth are past.
2 Dark brood the heav’ns o’er thee,
Red flames are bursting round;
Bright lightnings flash, loud thunders roar,
How shakes the trembling ground!
3 Dark brood the heav’ns o’er thee,
Behold, the Judge appears;
Unnumbered millions throng around,
Raised from the dust of years.
4 Dark brood the heav’ns o’er thee,
Soon thou wilt hear thy doom;
Destruction opens wide for thee,
Thy chosen, final home.
5 Yet wait, the vision stays;
Why sinner, wilt thou die?
Dark brood the heav’ns—but mercy waits;
This hour to Jesus fly! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BRIDE
