The Day of Judgment

1 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat,
When this world is burning,
Beneath Jehovah's feet!

Chorus:
Friends and kindred there will part.
Will part to meet no more;
Wrath will sink the rebel's heart,
While saints on high adore.
Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat.

2 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat!
When the trumpet's warning
The sinner's ear shall greet! [Chorus]

3 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat!
When, from dust returning,
The lost their doom shall meet. [Chorus]

4 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat;
Justice, ever frowning,
Shall seal the sinner's fate. [Chorus]
