Coming Judgment

Author: R. Kelso Carter Meter: 12.11.12.11.10.11.10.11 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: O, the rocks and the mount­ains shall all flee away Refrain First Line: Sinner, sin­ner, plunge in the crim­son flood! Lyrics: 1 O, the rocks and the mount­ains shall all flee away, When Je­sus comes to judg­ment the last great day; And no re­fuge can shel­ter, no co­vert can hide The soul that hath re­ject­ed the Cru­ci­fied. Refrain: Sinner, sin­ner, plunge in the crim­son flood! There’s par­don, peace, and cleans­ing be­neath the blood. Sinner, sin­ner, plunge in the crim­son flood! There’s pard­on, peace, and cleans­ing be­neath the blood. 2 In the world there’s no plea­sure can ev­er endure, The mo­ments are so fleet­ing, there’s no­thing sure; For we fade as a leaf, and our time’s but a breath, The Lord hath said the wag­es of sin is death. [Refrain] 3 In the blood there is cleans­ing with­out and with­in, And Jesus breaks the pow­er of can­celed sin; He keeps us and saves us to the ut­ter­most, Baptizes us with fire and the Ho­ly Ghost. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TUVALU Text Sources: The Revival Wave by G. W. Wilson and B. H. Kennedy (Philadelphia: John J. Hood, 1887)
